Book description
Audiobook Review - "Revenge" by Tom Bower
Tom Bower's Revenge is a gripping, high-stakes narrative that turns the spotlight back onto Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, but from a perspective rarely heard in mainstream media. As an audiobook, it benefits from Bower's clear, almost journalistic prose paired with a narrator who delivers each scene with just enough drama to keep listeners glued. The pacing is steady; long stretches of dialogue are broken up by descriptive asides that give context without bogging down the story.
What makes this book stand out is its ability to weave fact and speculation into one seamless thread. Bower pulls from court documents, insider accounts, and media reports-yet he never feels like a gossip columnist. Instead, he presents the whirlwind romance of the Sussexes as a complex human drama: Meghan's early Hollywood ambitions, her determination to find meaning beyond fame, and the magnetic pull she felt toward Prince Harry. The narrator's tone shifts subtly when recounting their wedding at Windsor Castle-a moment described with a sense of awe that quickly turns into disillusionment.
The heart of Revenge lies in its exploration of betrayal and power within the royal family. Bower does not shy away from the "toxic" dynamics between Meghan, Harry, and other members of the House of Windsor. He highlights how seemingly small missteps escalated into a public crisis, culminating in the infamous Megxit split and the subsequent Oprah interview that turned headlines worldwide. The audiobook format shines here: the narrator's inflection mirrors the tension in these revelations, making each accusation feel immediate.
Listeners will also appreciate Bower's focus on the personal side of the story-how Meghan's childhood on Hollywood sets shaped her worldview, how she navigated the expectations of a royal life that was never quite what she imagined. The book invites us to question whether the "new era" promised by the wedding could have survived the weight of tradition and scrutiny.
Overall, Revenge is an engaging listen for anyone fascinated by modern royalty, media narratives, or the intersection of fame and family. Tom Bower's balanced yet compelling storytelling, combined with a skilled narrator, turns what could have been another sensational exposΓ© into a thoughtful, well-structured audiobook that invites reflection as much as it does intrigue.
