I find it very interesting to learn about how royalty was treated and mistreated. It wasn\\\\\\\'t the best thing to be queen.....

Although the novel dragged at times, the story of Mary Queen of Scots is a worthy story. Not many of our book club members read the book because it was so slow. It wasn't until I got about 2/3 of the way through that the plot seemed to quicken. There were a lot of characters to keep track of, so that was a big complaint among our club. I liked the three-person narrator format; however, I did not find any of the characters extremely protaganostic. For that reason, much discussion can certainly result. Overall, this book was okay. I enjoyed reading about Mary, since I did not know too much about her story. The Elizabethan era strikes me as a romantic one, so I did like that part of the novel. If it weren't for my book club, I don't think I would have finished this book though.
