- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved this audiobook! One of the greatest queens in history! This is interesting stuff.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Informative as far as history goes. Its the quickest book I’ve ever listened to. The narrator read this so fast it was hard to keep up with all the names and historical events. Also it was read as if the narrator was in a hurry to get it over with. Disappointed as she was the second longest living Monarch in history and this was the shortest biography in history!
