The Tudors: The Complete Story of England’s Most Notorious Dynasty by G.J. Meyer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
At first when I picked this book up, I had thought that it would be fiction. I have always been intrigued by the Tudor dynasty (since picking up The Queen’s Fool by Phillipa Gregory and not realizing that it was part of a series of books) and so I was looking forward to reading another one. When I realized that this was a history, I was a little be daunted. Nevertheless, I am not one to turn away from books and thus set out to read it. What I got was an incredibly wittingly written history of one of the most notorious families in English history. I found myself laughing in some parts, absorbing the pages with such interest that, despite the length of time it took me to read it, I did not want to put the book down. I’m glad to have learned more in-depth knowledge about this incredibly famous dynasty. Fantastically organized and written.
