A review by linwearcamenel
Elizabeth I by Margaret George
4.0
More of a 3.5. I was a little confused, because we were coming in halfway through her life, so if there had been two books, encompassing her entire reign, it probably would have felt less unfinished. It also would have been extremely long, though. The story I did read was enjoyable though. I liked how Henry VIII had achieved such an aura by her time...by the standards of the day, he was considered an excellent ruler, no matter how we remember him.
I think I liked [b:The Autobiography of Henry VIII: With Notes by His Fool, Will Somers|10108|The Autobiography of Henry VIII With Notes by His Fool, Will Somers|Margaret George|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166115529s/10108.jpg|2505877] better. And [b:The Memoirs of Cleopatra|10115|The Memoirs of Cleopatra|Margaret George|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166115556s/10115.jpg|12852]. It could just be that Elizabeth I has never been my favorite subject.
