Rhonda S. (loves-to-read) reviewed Great writing as usual, but not all the plot was appreicated on 4/7/2009 + 8 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 1

Philippa Gregory writes in her usual style, but I did not appreciate the incestual relationship of a couple of the characters. I'm sure she did this in order to carry it on in her next book "The Favored Child", but I did not care for the relationship nor how she described with such sexual descriptions. I skimmed over them so I could continue with the book, even while thinking of not reading it. However, the rest of her story was very good as usual. Just a warning to others that may be bothered by incest, do not read it if you may be bothered by it also. I know I sound hypoctrical, but I did want to finish the book since I like her books so much. I felt that the sexual relstionships in this book were more detailed than her ones in the books about the queens. Reader beware.
