An insightful look into the life of Queen Victoria. Carolly Erikson once again uses her story telling abilities to bring a biography to life! The insight into the Queen's diaries and of those that surrounded her is presented to the reader in a style that is easier to read than most biographies about the same era. I enjoyed reading about the events that shaped and molded this Queen of England.

I did not finish this book because the more I read, the more boring it got. I have read other books by this author and loved them, but this one made me feel like I was reading required text for history class. Maybe would be better for someone who likes history more than I do.

This was my first book about Queen Victoria, I became interested after watching Emily Blount in "The Young Victoria" I will say this book has a lot of informtion in it BUT it is not like the normal historical fiction I am used to reading. This book is like a biography or a memoir not the entertaining fiction. It is still a good book if you want to know the basics about Victoria's long history.

Very well written, reads like a novel but well researched, and if it seems slightly long occasionally, I'm sure Victoria's reign itself did to those living it. Shows all sides of the Queen's complex character.
Good reading history
