Mary Queen of Scotland and the Isles: A Novel Audiobook

" Wonderful book. Fan of Margaret. "

" print so small had to take a break. "

" Not as involving as some of George's other books, but still a fascinating read. "

" Mary Queen of Scots could trust no one and no one could trust her. This novel does well by sticking with that premise and peopling her story strictly with bad guys. "

" This book was really good for the first few hundred pages, then it really dragged on. I almost quit reading it at page 840-ish. "

" One of the best historical fiction novels that I have ever read. I love reading about the Tudor dynasty. "

" It was okay. The story of Mary Queen of Scotts gets old as she is improsoned for half her life. "

" Would have LOVED this, but every 150 pages, there was some horribly perverted passage thrown in. Liked the history very much. "

" Yet another well researched book, interesting and well written. "

" This book was chock full of historicity and did a great job of bringing this young, impetuous queen to life, but it was way too salacious in my book. As a movie, it would definitely be rated R, for several scenes. "

" George's writing is as always colorful, rich, vivid, and entertaining. Mary however, was at best pitiful and at worse unforgivably naive. Either way she was the worst type of character, neither hated nor beloved simply grey and there. "

" tragische, interessante biographie. dicker schinken!!! "

" Tried to read past the first 200 pages and gave up ... maybe I will try again. "

" Historically indepth, this book read more like a university textbook than an historical novel. Parts were interesting but they were few and far between. The author has managed to turn a fascinating woman's life into a long and very dry read. "

" I thought it was interesting, it's was hard to put down. After reading this I feellike queen mary is an old friend. It es a great way to learn about the politics of the period. "

" Long but pretty good! "

" Started out slow, but is getting much better. "

" This book takes an interesting angle on the subject of Queen Mary. It is pretty engaging for a book of it's length (and being a period piece). I love the author's other works, this wasn't my favorite but it is still a good read. "

" A challenging period in the history of Great Britain and the Church. Interesting; enjoyable; informative. "

" This was quite a fun fictive bio of an enigmatic and unfortunate queen. George's work is, as usual, historically thorough without being tedious. "

" Be careful what you say, where you say it and whom whom you're saying it to. "

" I think this might have been the book that got me hooked on historical fiction in the Tudor era when I was about 16. I own it, haven't read it in years but I remember liking it a lot! "

" A bit too long but a decent story nevertheless. Her Autobiography of Henry VIII was the best of her books IMHO. "

" Read this book three times! "

" I love al of Margaret George's historic novels! Excellent, excellent!! I also love just about anything about Mary Queen of Scots! "

" I forced myself to get through this book, not because it was badly written, but because Mary was such an un-admirable person. She made really bad, selfish decisions and she should have abdicated the throne when she was 18. I think that Scotland would have been better of without her. "

" It was a good read, but not a great read. I like my historical fiction to be fairly accurate, recognizing that the conversations tend to be pure fiction. This book contained a lot of letters, which were genuine, but also some love scenes that were, in my opinion, detractors. "

" It was a good book but I am not really a fan of Mary. "
