A review by a_manning11
The Life of Elizabeth I by Alison Weir
4.0
I didn't struggle with the changing names of people, as another reviewer stated, but found it difficult to follow the chronology, since important topics were discussed outside the chronological telling of events, and jumped ahead.
This book is a very political (and in this case marriage related) version of the life of Elizabeth. To give it five stars, I would have liked to learn more about the culture, society and other events. That's what makes history interesting for me.
I found the book repetitive sometimes, but admit that this is probably a good thing, since not everyone is likely to listen to this book in two days, and those little reminders might be valuable then.
I will give her other books a try.
