Dynasty 1: The Founding Audiobook (Unabridged)

" This book is long and is a rather slow read. I get why: it's setting up a foundation (get it!?!) for a dynasty. However I was a little disappointed by the lack of character development. This novel, however, is great for its historical backdrop. I'll probably give the second in the series a shot as well. "

" I have read great reviews about this series and was really looking forward to getting stuck in. However I have to say that I was reallly disappointed. I didn't feel like I could get to know any of the characters (except Eleanor, whom I could not like at all). The book was simply weighed down with far too many facts and too much information and I frequently found myself confused with who was who. I did try to persevere and read the next book but sadly didn't get on with that either. "

" Over several years of visits to my local library, I sampled Harrod-Eagles' series on English history. I never tried to read them in order, and I must admit, although they are quite adequately written, none of them stayed in my memory. Two stars then, for the books in general. "

" I love historical fiction and this beginning book in this series was definitely not a disappointment. Although I did have a few problems keeping up with the names, I thoroughly enjoyed the story. The details were great and the story was good. I can't wait to read the next one! "

" This is an entertaining book. Will I continue with the series? Yes, because the author manages to make the history of England as important of a character as the Morlands. Not the best written historical fiction I've read but it does work for historical brain candy. "

" The book is all in all a great read. Eleanor is truly a strong and determined woman of her time. She shows great strength in keeping her family together. The background history of the narrative reads well and real. The story spans a long range of England's Dark Age. Educational. "

" I really wanted to fall in love with this but I hated the matriarch of the family-she sucked! "

" Enjoyed the start of a good series. Will read one between heavier books just to enjoy. "

" The historical part of this book was so interesting. "

" I really enjoyed this book! Great historical fiction of the fifteenth century......I guess there are over 30 books in the Morland Dynasty Series and I would love to read them all over time, but am a bit frustrated as the library does not have them all. "

" So I must of found this series amazing because I ended up reading 26 books in the series. I just found out there are a total of 33 books in this series so I better get reading!! "

" This is a 32 book series. This book traces the Morland family from the wedding of Robert Morland to Eleanor Courteney in 1434 until Eleanor's death in 1486 at age 70. I really enjoyed this book and hope to get the next one soon. "

" I really enjoyed this book,. I love old england. "

" A great start to the series. Full of everything! "
