Fluff reading

I have to admit, this is not my favorite author. I tried to read one of her other books and was not able to finish it, and thats rare. This book was ok, even good, but dragged on and on @ times. And repeative!!! I have never seen the work 'Christindom' used so many times in a chapter, no less a book!
This would be a good book to take to the lake when u would like nothing better think of then when ur gonna get up to get ur next drink, no thinking @ all involved to read this one!

A Royal Read

This was a really excellent book. I wouldn't say that it was really emotionally engaging, although it is indeed sympathetic, but the story nonetheless was in continuous flux which keeps the reader constantly attentive. It was a really beautiful portrait of history and a sweet story about a young girls role in the regal and yet not-so-regal lives of England's rulers. It had well written moments of joy, sorrow, and fear. This is a book I would recommend and probably read again myself.

Gregory Writes Another Winner!

The Queen's Fool is another wonderful book by Philippa Gregory. She covers life among the royals under Queen Mary, and the conflict between Mary and Princess Elizabeth--mostly over religion, and who is most fit to wear the crown. Fascinating as always, this time period is beautifully detailed and researched by Gregory. If you have enjoyed some of her other books on this topic, this will not disappoint. Another interesting historical fiction!

Queen's Fool

This was not my favorite of Philippa's Tudor novels. I loved the Constant Princess which seemed more historical whereas this was basically a novel with little relevance to history. It was easy to read and entertaining but not what I expected after her earlier Tudor stories.
