2.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointing, 18 Oct 2008
By Louise Messik "book lover" (Estepona, Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have loved all Barbara Taylor Bradford's book and have been impatient to read each new one. Being Elizabeth was a great disappointment. This last book in the Ravenscar trilogy (the full story synopsis can be found in product information) felt to me as if the author had rather given up, did not have her heart in the story and had only written the book because she was under contract to complete three books in the series.
Dull and uninteresting characters in the main and I found the use of slightly changed names from the real history of Queen Elizabeth I very contrived.
I really hope Barbara Taylor Bradford will do better with her next book or else she will lose her place among my favorite authors.

1.0 out of 5 stars disappointing, 2 Dec 2008
By busy lizzy (Hampshire, UK) - See all my reviews
I don't know what has happened to Barbara's writing. After 70 pages I was not engaging with any character let alone Elizabeth. Really boring. I gave up on it all together, lifes too short!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as previous books, 3 April 2009
By Mrs. T. Stephens (Cambridge, Cambs United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Being Elizabeth (Paperback)
I have read a lot of Barbara Taylor-Bradford and particularly enjoyed the Harte series. The first Ravenscar book was promising, but they have gone down rapidly since. The story was very weak and disjointed, and the parallel with the Tudor dynasty made the storyline very predictable and contrived. Not one of her best offerings, very disappointed.
