review 1: If you're looking for juicy bits of drama and gossip about the rulers of Western Europe, look no further. This book pays homage to historical accuracy while at the same time delighting us with courtly gossip along the way. As such, it makes this book a very interesting read. The chapters are split up into short, easy to read sections which makes it easy to put down and pick up again when life gets in the way. It is also one of the few books I've seen like this that encompasses the lives of twentieth century royalty (including Grace Kelly and Prince Charles of England). All in all, if you're looking for a quick, juicy historical read, I highly recommend this book.
review 2: I would have given this book 3 1/2 stars if there was such an option. Well written and w... moreell researched, the truth is interesting enough without the author attempting to be salacious, as I have seen with other books of this type. Ms. Carroll did a great job of presenting the facts. I would recommend this to all history buffs, particularly Anglophiles. Who needs TMZ and People when you have Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville. less
