I am a complete dork; I love history especially English history. I have studied a lot about this period and read numerous historical fictions about the times. So I decided it would be interesting to read a book written from Henry’s point of view. I really wasn’t disappointed.

I would not say this is the best book I have ever read. I am more interested in the personal life of Henry than the political life. So a few of the political parts/war accounts dragged for me. But all in all this is a sensitively written book and an interesting read.

This is a long book, but I am proud to finish. My goal is to read at least 50 books this year, this should have counted as three =)
