I read the story in two hours I couldnt put it down.Breathless! Verified Amazon Purchase, 5 stars James Napoleon (CT)
To read the Firestones raw-edged inspired-by-the-truth story is like being shot out of a cannon. You will be breathless and bruised, reliving this tragedy of a generation so close and so personal, as the Firestones embark on a 1990s vacation, hijacked by volatile forces out of control. Keep an open mind and stay with the churn of events, though it will at times break your heart. The Goodrich family survives a media feeding frenzy and the bizarre designs of some very desperate players. A truly original take on an event that will haunt us all for decades.Reminiscent of Oliver Stones JFK Justin Paprocki, The Island Packet, book reviewer (Hilton Head Island, SC)
Chasing Diana is reminiscent of Oliver Stones JFK which took the Kennedy assassination and added intrigue and conspiracy theory into a narrative telling of a lawyer trying to solve the presidents death. Chasing Diana spins murderous paparazzi and crooked cops into its tale. Inspired by Our True Story Written by American Eyewitnesses Jack Firestone & Robin Firestone _________________ SPECIAL EDITION Includes Tunnel Vision by Jack Firestone
