I couldn't bring myself to finish this book. As a history lover, especially the Tudor period, I assumed id enjoy this book but not really learn anything that I didn't already know. Instead, I ended up getting irritated merely 11 pages in due to the author stating things that aren't historically correct(such as Margaret Beaufort fleeing to Brittany when in fact she stayed in the Plantagenet court and worked hard for her son's cause in secret). It made me feel as if the author hadn't researched the subject properly and I didn't want to finish reading.

This book is a great way of getting some background information on the Tudor Kings and Queens. I particularly enjoyed the chapters about the reign of Elizabeth .

If you are looking for an easy non-fiction book to read about these times, pick this up

I really enjoy English history and the Tudors especially. This book gives a very good overview for someone who doesn't have much previous knowledge or just wants a general overview. I enjoy more detail and depth because I really love history, but still enjoyed this book.
