The Romanovs for all the faults had a remarkable existence. I couldn’t finish this book fast enough. While my reason for reading was aimed more toward the last tsar, understanding the whole history of the dynasty helped me reshape my view of the ill-fated Tsar.

Reads like non-fiction. Incredibly easy to get lost in. The details are hard to look away from. A must read for lovers of historical fiction.

I could not read fast enough! This fact packed, easy to read history is wonderful. I love the way the writer tied historical data to today's political scene. This book gave me insight into times and people not well covered in history classes. The only bad thing is that I finished the book. I want more!
