Rasputin's Daughter Audiobook

" A very easy and entertaining read. Rather tough and sometimes dark subject but very interesting. Even thought this is a work of fiction all of the characters are real. It is a fun and easy way to learn some of the history of the time as it was truthfully represented also. Starts you thinking and then lets you do some further research to find out more about the people involved and the times as they were. "

" A compelling, quick read, this fictionalized account of the last days of Rasputin (as told by his daughter, Maria) read like juvie fiction but had enough grit to make it interesting. I enjoyed the last pages where the author told of the true last days of the surviving characters. Seems that Maria Rasputin wound up in the circus and then in a Miami shipyard. She even wrote a cookbook that included some of Rasputin's favs. "

" I was disappointed :( I enjoyed The Kitchen Boy and expected to like this book as much. The writing was more on the Young Adult level and contained way too many similes. Some of the information presented about Rasputin was interesting but overall the book was predictable and disappointing. "

" I read this book to get a little bit of perspective on Russian history. A quick, engaging read, though I wish that Maria R. hadn't come off as so naive -- although maybe she really was, but still! I just wanted her to have a little more oomph. Still informative for anyone interested in Rasputin/Romanovs/Russia/revolution/R words. I'm also curious if Sasha was based on a real person or a figment of the author's imagination. And was Maria actually there at her father's death? (I had thought no.) "

" I liked "The Kitchen Boy" by Robert Alexander much better. "

" Another historical fiction book - enjoyed reading and learning about Russia. "

" I thought Maria's character was flip-floping on her attitude toward her dad (Rasputin) the entire book, and I really got annoyed with the it. I did not like this book. "

" Not as captivating as the Kitchen Boy, but I did enjoy the history involved. "

" Not as good as I'd hoped. The beginning was good and the end, but the middle was quite dreadful. "

" I love books about the Russian Revolution and the Romanovs. In fact, I've read many great book on this topic. This is not one of them. "

" Tedious retelling of the last days of Rasputin as seen through the eyes of his oldest daughter. I really had to force myself to finish this one.. "

" Very interesting and he did a good job building the charaters. Definately got me to check out more of the Russian history on the internet. "

" A short read about the infamous Rasputin from the view of his daughter. "

" interesting perspective of Rasputin's influence on the events in imperial Russia before the Revolution. "

" One of my favorite books I have ever read. I am facinated with the rise and fall of Rasputin and the Romanovs. This was an eye opening book. "

" excellent- I am a huge fan of russian history- I found this accurate and just very interesting! a great perspective. It was very interesting to see Maria transform and loose her innocence through out the book. a great read! "

" This book was okay, but I enjoyed The Kitchen Boy a lot more. "

" This book was interesting. It dealt with a time period, culture, and family (Rasputin) that I think is interesting. It was written in a way that makes you care about the characters, and makes you want to keep reading. "

" What a fascinating account of the mysterious Rasputin and his life. I thoroughly enjoyed this beginning to end. "

" Well written and very interesing! "

" Great historical fiction from the daughters life experiences, how to love a father who is so full of energy but so evil.... "

" Great story. Never knew who Rasputin was so this was an interesting story for me. Like the genre and the way Alexander tells a story. "

" Easy to read, especially while flying. "

" This was a really interesting and quick paced book. I really didn't know that much about Rasputin, besides his basic reputation, but this was a really interesting look at the man himself. Anyone who enjoys Russian history, would definitely enjoy this book. "

" Very interesting and he did a good job building the charaters. Definately got me to check out more of the Russian history on the internet. "

" Yawn. An intriguing story, but a boring book. I am fascinated by Russian history, and particularly by the fall of the Romanovs and the rise of the revolution. Nevertheless, I found it hard to get into this book. "

" this book is very interesting..........the scene of how romanov was killed vividly explained "

" I wanted more - but it didn't deliver. Rasputin is one of my favorite characters in history. "

" The middle of Alexander's Romanov trilogy tells the story of the murder of Rasputin from his daughter's point of view. I had read her autobiography. This put novel put another slant on it. "

" An interesting account of the last week of Rasputin's life, told from the perspective of his daughter, Maria. "

" I enjoyed the telling of a historical event in story form from Maria Rasputin's point of view. Maria was the daughter of the famous Rasputin who is deemed responsible for the Russian revolution that brought down the Romanoff family. Anastasia was filmed based on the Rasputin stories. "

" Really have enjoyed R. Alexander's other books about the Romanov family. "

" I would guess that this is well-researched: it certainly gives that impression. Hard to put down? Yes, somewhat. "

" Not as good as "The Kitchen Boy," but still very well done. "
