Recensione:

'The most salient part of 'The Richard Burton Diaries' (now out in paperback from Yale University Press and a far superior 'beach read' to any Revenge Wears Prada folderol) is not the great Welsh actor's fabled love of language, his stage fright or his splurges on private airplanes and pedigreed jewels for the love of his life, Elizabeth Taylor.' -Alexandra Jacobs, The New York Times

'Likely to prove the literary sensation of the year.' -Christopher Wilson, The Daily Telegraph

'Meticulously edited by Welsh history professor Chris Williams, the diaries are, in a word, fascinating - indeed downright compelling - reading ... Altogether, The Richard Burton Diaries make for utterly involving, fascinating reading, giving a rare insight into a complicated, gifted individual.' --The Washington Times
