5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book that should be a movie!, August 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Harry's Son: England's American Heir (Paperback)

This book offers a refreshing look at the validity of the English monarchy through a fun, romantic story. The romance of Emmalissa and Will is a delightful undercurrent as Will tries to establish himself as the rightful heir of the throne. Their romance soon takes center stage, as often happens, in his quest for truth. If, in fact, there is any validity to this tale, it puts to question the premise on which the monarchy is founded -- lineage. At a time when the monarchy has become less popular, it would be interesting to know what the royals have to say about Harry's Son. This delightful, light story would make an interesting movie. A movie clothed in romance and intrigue that could question the roots of a nation's monarchy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A well written, easy to read, fascinating story, June 30, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Harry's Son: England's American Heir (Paperback)

I truly enjoyed reading "Harry's Son"! The author does an exceptional job of weaving historical facts and fiction to create, quite seamlessly, a really good novel. I liked the short, fast-paced chapter format, the political ideas expressed, and the very appropriate tie-in with today's monarchy. I highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining fiction intertwined with intriguing facts., June 28, 1999

This review is from: Harry's Son: England's American Heir (Paperback)

"Harry's Son" combines a first-rate romance-thriller with enough reality to cause me to wonder if this is just a fiction, or is it a preview of things that may come to pass? Will's clever schemes to outwit the sitting monarchy and his passionate romance with the unsuspecting tavern maid, Emmalisa, provide a rollicking, suspenseful Bondesque adventure. On the other hand, the inclusion of actual places, thinly disguised references to members of the current Royal Family, and references to Anthony William Hall's claim to the English throne in 1931 make me wonder whether there is more to this story than just a very good read. Well, H. Robert Humphrey, what do you say?
