I enjoyed this light hearted but incredibly detailed look at famous royal marriage disasters. ( )

This is a good book for those not wanting to get into to great a detail of the marriages of those royals profiled. The author sticks to the main facts of each of her subjects. A light yet interesting read. ( )

It was one part tell-all and one part defense of all women in royal marriages, well almost (sorry Elisabeth of Bavaria). Entertaining, but clearly biased. ( )

I thought I'd find this book to be exceedingly boring, just a list of facts and dates, but it was actually very interesting and entertaining. Each different section was only about 15-20 pages so it went pretty quickly. The author did a good job of not taking sides in any particular relationship, which I was thankful for. Even when it came to Prince Charles and Lady Diana, she didn't paint Diana as a complete saint as most are wont to do, she made full disclosure of even her mistakes.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has a passion for Royals, or scandal in general. ( )

Interesting book, especially the older "royals". For her coverage of the 20th century couples, she seemed more judgmental of the characters. Felt more tabloid than good biography. ( )
