My Enemy the Queen

Rating:
Summary: gotta-read!
Review: this is a really wonderful book. it's so descriptive and it feels as if you are looking through an window of Tudor England and seeing everything, from a jewel on a queen's splendid crown to the look in a man's confident eyes. Lettice tells her story so well, and makes the characters so real and believable. It is a good mix of entertainment and history.

Summary: One of the best books I've ever read!!
Review: This is an extraodinary account of the love triangle between Lettice Knollys, Robert Dudley, and Queen Elizabeth I. It is entertaining and educating at once.

Rating:
Summary: Fabulous page-turner
Review: This is an intricately woven tale of a love triangle between Lettice Knollys, Robert Dudley, and Queen Elizabeth I. Not only does it include romance and betrayal, but it provides a different perspective of Tudor England and the inner circle of Queen Elizabeth's court. Mixing the talent of Holt and the interesting aspect of this particular time period makes this a wonderful book that you can't put down. I would recommend this to anybody who is looking for a quality read and is intrigued by shrewd Elizabeth and her elaborate court.

Summary: A must-read!
Review: This is one of the best books that I have ever read (and I've read it over and over again). After reading Lettice's story, I've been searching everywhere for more books on her. I think Lettice is far more fascinating than Queen What's-her-name.

Summary: Spectacular Book!
Review: This is, by far, one of the best books, if not the best, I have ever, ever read. Victoria Holt really did her research on this book, and it is a pleasure to read both from the fiction-lover's viewpoint, and from the biographers. Be forewarned, however, that if you are not already in love with Robert Dudley and Elizabeth I, you will be no later than halfway through the book.

Summary: Brilliant, extraordinary, Characters seem IN FRONT of you!
Review: This was a great book, incorporating all the feelings of a girl in the queens court struggling for love against a queen that wants love but knows she can't get it! It seems almost real! A fresh Look at queen Elizabeth, no longer the view of the gracious, kind , godly queen we as we thought before!

Rating:
Summary: Excellent book!
Review: Victoria Holt weaves an exquisite tale of suspense and romance culled from various journals and historical accounts about Queen Elizabeth I, the Earl of Leicester, Lettice Devereux and the Earl of Essex. This book is swift and entertaining reading, and while I found the Queen to be a vain and deceitful woman, the players at Court are dazzling and unforgettable. A real treat for Holt fans. You won't be able to put this down!
