An intimate look at Britain's most famous queen
The author does an excellent job of detailing Queen Elizabeth's life, from girlhood to her death. Throughout the book are the Queen's own letters, furthing our insight into this dynamic female ruler. After finishing this book, I felt as though I knew Her Royal Highness personally!

No, no, no!
Very, very detailed account of the life of Queen Victoria. I appreciate the author's effort, but this book is a failure! This book TRIED to be a political AND intimate biography but it just didn't work. The reader is overwhelmed with minor details about the politics of Victoria's reign without getting the big picture.

This review is from: Victoria an intimate biography (Paperback)
Very, very detailed account of the life of Queen Victoria. I appreciate the author's effort, but this book is a failure!This book TRIED to be a political AND intimate biography but it just didn't work. The reader is overwhelmed with minor details about the politics of Victoria's reign without getting the big picture. All the details are wonderful, but the author writes in such a confuzing manner that it's hard to follow everything. In the end, we are left with a vague idea about the events of her reign. There was an alarmingly small amount of information on Victoria's personal relationships. I don't know what else to say because I honestly can't recall learning anything new! Stanley ignored Victoria's family and it makes for horrible reading. Honestly, this book is a very boring read. Do not waste your time even trying to consume and understand this "intimate" biography.
