Queen of Scots (Abridged) Audiobook

" This book was one of the most innacurate and poorly written biographies of Mary Queen of Scots I've came across. Not only did it skip over some of the most important parts of her life it's riddled with innacuracies. "

" A fascinating book looking at the life of Mary Queen of Scots. Quite hard going in places, but really interesting. "

" It wasn't until I finished listening to this audiobook that I realized that it was an abridged version. I'm a little disappointed, but I enjoyed listening to it nonetheless. "

" A really great book to start you off on Mary Stuart. "

" I found this book thoroughly insightful with Guy's use of historical documents and factual information. I learned so much about Scottish political history and it has helped me undertand more about Scotland's current political situation (and its relationship with England) "

" Supposedly a revisionist view of Mary Stuart with new information that sets her decisions in a better light...I read it hoping for this and came to the conclusion that nope, she's still an idiot. A better documented idiot, but still an idiot. "

" An interesting biography which gave understanding of the complex relationship between the two queens Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scots. "

" Wow... the political intrigue in this book is enough to make your head spin - it was no wonder royalty lost heads and kingdoms. Truthfully, I couldnt finish it, it was just too much for my little brain to handle right now - one day.... "

" I did it. I read the whole book. I am very proud of myself. I have never not finished a book. It is very detailed which is what made it difficult for me. There are alot of characters with alot going on. Keeping it straight was hard. I may read it again just to make sure I got everything. "

" Glad that someone finally realized that Mary was not the airhead she is usually portrayed as, but Guy doesn't seem to understand the concept of spiritual conversion, which is especially crucial in understanding Mary's final years. "

" I originally bought this as an "anti-Elizabeth I" book. But, I really enjoyed it. I gave it 3 stars because it's really one-sided, and it tries to prove that Mary was a saint... yeah right. But very enjoyable. "

" I can really recommend it. "

" I loved this book. The story of Mary Queen of Scots is probably the most interesting in Scottish history. Her life is an incredible story, although it is a tragic tale. Even if you're not particularly into history you will be gripped by this story. "

" Just a little too acedemic for my taste. Maybe I should have read it instead of listening to it on tape... "

" What a sad existence for the true heir to the throne. Politics was so deadly in Europe. The US and the Bushes probably learned a lot from these evil throne stealers. Guy tells the biography well , but I am a fan of historical fiction. "

" It is courious to see how the queen lived in the 1500. read in Italian "

" Trying to read this.... It has been more difficult than I expected. I have learned that I prefer biographies that are more storytelling in nature. This one is not that! "

" Absolutely fantastic, made me think of Mary in a totally different way. Also reinforces the fact that history is told by the victors. "
