Editorial Reviews
Express
'Starkey is an energetic and authoritative guide...'
Sunday Times
'Starkey, always an engaging writer, has a gift for bringing ideas as well as individuals to life.'
Daily Telegraph
'This work has real drive, and it is often hard to remember how dull history could be at school.'
Customer Reviews
Read the reviews for the hardback version also
If you are thinking of buying this book then I suggest you read the reviews for the hard back version also. Most reviewers have rated this quite highly.
Monarchy, from the Tudors to the Windsors 
David Starkey should stick to TV documentary portrayals of history, because without the TV behind him he is DULL DULL DULL. All he has succeeded in doing - with this book - and I've read a few - is reducing the story of this explosive period to the dull chronology of a cost-effective and judiciously-crafted university lecture.
Any fool can do that. VERY disappointed. At £8.99 - frankly, 10 x what it is worth.
