2.0 out of 5 stars
Great subject, mediocre verbiage,
By John T. Resch (North Bennington, VT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Elizabeth, the Queen Mother: A Twentieth-Century Life (Hardcover)
Elizabeth The Queen Mother by Grania Forbes offers an array of photographs that are fun, but the writing is wretched. The author is one of these writers who begins every third sentence with However. And that gets really tedious, a sign of an insecure and inept writer. While there are some fine photos which cover, naturally, the entire 20th century (the subject was born in 1900 and still lives!) their chronology in this book is immensely flawed, as if seemingly by a mixmaster. You are led to believe it's chronological, then you are fooled to the point of aggravation.
