I loved this book. If you like history, science. Food & culture you will love this book. It is great for listening because each chapter stands alone and if you miss a bit you are not going to be confused.

I recommend this book. I was a bit worried that the book would be too academic or boring, but it was not. It is very well written. I find the topic very interesting and the book was well put together. I would listen to it again.

Great story, well told. It’s quite laughable and fascinating. I reviewed the last episode instead of the whole series, so resubmitting this.

Good for any true crime or true mystery fan.

Love the topic. Very interesting. It’s an easy listen because the topics are broken into lessons, so it makes a good audio book. Lots of food for thought here.

This book is about the lifestyle and personality of Henry VIII and doesn’t cover much else. I was hoping to learn more about how he made all the money he spent, what was England doing overseas during this time and more.

It’s also quite pro- Henry VIII, pro-royalty and a bit misogynistic. For example she calls prostitutes ‘whores’ and used other disparaging language for others. I would imagine Henry VIII would approve his book if he could. There is a lot of time spend talking about how wonderful he was and also tons of minor details like which room of which building he met such and such in. Not insightful enough for me, but mildly interesting.

I really got a lot out of this book and am using her recommendations. I’m feeling great so far.

However, the performance is partly read by a robot. I don’t know how they do it but it’s like partially real person and partially robotic. I don’t like it at all but the content was strong enough to overlook it.
