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 Absolutely awful!, 10 May 2009
By Mrs. J. E. Davies "Bookworm" (Cheshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Being Elizabeth (Paperback)
I have read everything written by Barbara Taylor Bradford but if this is the standard of her future books, then I have just signed off.In fact I found it hard to believe that she had written this book at all.Nothing happened in it , it was boring. But what really drove me mad was the continuous parallels to the Tudors, where did that come from?I have never read a book which was so contrived and farcical to the extreme. It was as though she had become tired with the characters and writing in general and to publish this book was an insult to the loyal readership who spent their hard earned cash on it. Don't waste your cash on it!

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!!
