review 1: Largely has a new approach to telling you things you might have learned before, which is interesting as it allows you to follow Elizabeth's life and learning via the characters you know, Anne Boleyn, Mary Tudor et al. It really shines however when divulging the details you never knew in passing, making you want to read more. Have seen this lady at a talk, and following this, I look forward to reading more from her...
review 2: I received this book from the author as a freebie when it was still in the advance copy stage. It is a history on Queen Wlizabeth 1, and is authored by Tracy Borman who is a member of many historical organizations. I have to say it is one of the best researched books I have ever read with pages and pages of notes and bibliographies. If
... moreyou like history books, you will love this. It brings a fresh new take on Elizabeth 1's life, and is done in an interesting way. You don't feel like you are just reading a textbook. I recommend. less

Power and pettiness seem forever joined in the life and reign of this unusual woman. A good read.
