Title: Too Basic
Review: I was really looking forward to getting this as I love history and a book of royal scandals sounded interesting. Unfortunately, Farquhar writes about the scandals that are too well-known and have been thoroughly covered for hundreds of years (did you know that Henry VIII had 6 wives and had 2 of them beheaded?? Egads!). It would have been great if Farquhar could have chronicled more interesting, unknown facts about these famous scandals, or even dug up scandals that haven't been covered a million times (there are no shortages of those), but if you know anything about history, you will learn nothing more from this book.
