Rating:  Summary: Wow Review: A true and deep look into the twisted past of the tough and rough Russians. Politically they were doomed, but with their strong holdings of land, you couldn't but help be jealous and rude and wanting. Fine work!
Rating:  Summary: "Good book about the most mysterious royal family" Review: Brief Summary:In the year 1881 church bells rung from the towers Alexander II is dead. His eldest son Nicholas was crowned czar of imperial Russia. With his wife Alexandra from England. Granddaughter of Queen Victoria. Their first child was born in 1895.Her name was The Grand Duchess Olga Romanov. She was the czars heir. Then in 1897 their second child was born. Her name was Tatiana Romanov. Then in 1899 Marie was born. Then in1901 Anastasia was born. Followed by their final child the new heir Alexei in 1904. Then problems came to Russia there were riots in Russia. The people started to hate the czar and czarina. People were starving in the streets. And Nicholas didn't know anything about it. Alexei was diagnosed with Hemophilia that meant if he bleeds he could bleed himself to death. The Russian Revolution started and the people hated the czar. They imprisoned him and his family. To a small village in Siberia. Then they transported them to a village near Moscow. Where one morning a soldier came to there room and told them to get dressed and get downstairs. The family was told to wait in the basement. A firing squad opened the door and started to fire on the family. The bullets cut their bodies down. There were screaming and lots of smoke. Not one Romanov lived that morning. They say that Anastasia escaped and lived. But that is another mystery. Critical Thinking: In the book Royal Russia the Romanov family had many fears. They were imprisoned to Siberia and they went from extremely rich to poor. The girls were the most scared because they did not know what was going on or what was going to happen to them. When they were shot in the basement they probably had a clue what was going on. When they were shot they were terrified on what happened to there family. Bottom Line: Good book to read and also has some good pictures to look at that best describes the Romanov family as they were not how they were preseved to be.
Rating:  Summary: Not really worth buying Review: Hmmmm, I was decidedly disappointed in this book. Many of the pictures contained within were very poor quality and there were some blatant mistakes in identification of the family members. A good many of the photographs are not new to the collector of Romanov books. I would not recommend this book if one is expecting to see anything new. I dont think Mr. Blair Lovell would have been pleased!

Rating:  Summary: Wonderful Review: I have a large collection of Romanov Albums and I find this one to be the most interesting. The rare photos give you an insight to the Personal life of Tsar Nicholas II and the last Imperial family.
Rating:  Summary: Great book!!!!!!!!!! Review: I reccomend this book because it has lots of great photograhs and focuses manly on the Royal Family at home, and not the big parade stuff that is in a lot of albums! I love this book!!!
Rating:  Summary: Loved it! Review: I thought it was a very good book with lots of nice photographs, but as said before, the names of the Grand Duchesses was changed and mixed a little and the author continually repeated himself. The years of the photographs and the ages of the Grand Duchesses in conjunction with this was also a little mixed at places. Other than that, it is a wonderful book and I love it!
Rating:  Summary: Excellent Review: In "Royal Russia", Lovell draws the reader into the amazing world of the last Imperial Family with their wonderful photographs. The photographs are excellent, however there are some misidentifictations of the Grand Duchesses. Nonetheless, the book is great.
