" Whew! Well, the author did a good job with his material, and most of it was pretty interesting, but by three-quarters through I just wanted that wretched, rapacious, horrible Henry VII to just Hurry Up and Die Already. Oh. my. word. What a nasty man. Actually, almost everyone in this was to some degree loathsome. Except Henry's wife, Elizabeth. She seemed nice. However, I really did enjoy most of the book -- the political maneuvering and shifts in power (mostly into the hands of the king and his advisers) were well described. If I'd rated this on page 250, before I got fed up, I'd have given it four stars. "
