I enjoyed this very short read very much. I am not a fan of the British Royals and don't keep up with their every move like others do, but I enjoyed imagining the Queen Mother shirking off responsibilities to catch up with her new found love of reading. The book is infused with that delicious, dry British humor I love so much. I think I would've given it another star had I read and known some of the references mentioned in the book. A great, short read for book lovers.
