Title: Oh, God, it burns!
Product review: When this book came out, I was excited. I heartily enjoyed Philippa Gregory's other Tudor novels, and I'm fascinated by Elizabeth I. I wish I had never read it.The characterizations of Elizabeth and Dudley and all the rest--blech! I was halfway through and I wanted to do nothing more than smack Elizabeth around for being a weak, empty headed IDIOT. The only thing she could do competently in this "novel" was bang Dudley. And don't get me started on Dudley. Oh please please PLEASE don't get me started.This was such a disappointment. I expected Gregory to be a bit hazy on the historical accuracy (hell, that's why it's called fiction) but to come up with this? It's absolute drivel. I'm so glad that all Gregory's other Tudor novels were better written and so much more engaging.
