5.0 out of 5 stars It's Elizabeth, of course it's going to be good Sep 19 2010
By Ashley Boone
Format:Paperback
All the wonderful and descriptively-written charm you'd expect from Alison Weir, complete with interesting portraits sections that, to me anyways, help give a bit of perspective and remind us that these events happened to actual people, putting a face to the stories. Plus, you know, it's Tudor history, you couldn't make that stuff up!

5.0 out of 5 stars A solid history Oct 9 2012
By A Customer
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I like Alison Weir, though more for her non fiction than for her fiction. She's factual but never dull and brings her subjects to life with an immediacy that many other authors fail to summon. I'd recommend any of her histories of this era.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent account of the life of a great woman! Mar 30 2003
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This book provides a well researched and balanced account of Elizabeth I's private and political life. Entertaining, thoughtful and provocative, this book is a real page turner. Alison Weir has a real knack for making historical biographies entertaining and educational. I can't wait to read her book about Elizabeth's rival, Mary Queen of Scots!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun reading at first, but I became bored with it
I liked this book for about the first 200 pages, but I became sick of the various "plots" for the marriage of Elizabeth. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A Seminal Biography of Elizabeth -- Excellent!
I was first drawn to this book by the film based on it starring Cate Blanchett. Since reading 'Elizabeth I', I've gone on to read all of Weir's historical works. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Just her personal life

5.0 out of 5 stars Facinating!
I found this book immensely readable. While it is a factual and well researched history book, it reads like a novel, with a great amount of detail. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars well paced, compelling biography
Alison Weir places Elizabeth in the context of her time. It's impossible to understand the queen and her choices without seeing the web of inter-relationships in which she existed. Read more
