If you are thinking of buying this book then I suggest you read the reviews for the hard back version also. Most reviewers have rated this quite highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully written, perfectly balanced, 25 Feb 2009

By	Basileus (UK / NL) - See all my reviews

"Monarchy" by historian David Starkey is a beautifully written history of the development of the British monarchy from medieval times onwards. The story of the constant, often involuntary adjustments of the monarchy to hold on to its position is portrayed in a very clear way, making the book a joy to read.

In my opinion, the writer has found the perfect balance between important historical developments, constitutional changes and personal stories of monarchs and other players. The result is that the story has a natural flow, giving all monarchs equal attention and showing connections between events, reigns and changes unknown to me.

From a Dutch point of view, where Willem III (from William and Mary) is one of our less appealing and influential monarchs, the writer gives William of Orange credits for being the founder of modern Britain. I would like to invite Starkey to write a similar history on the Dutch monarchy as he has done on the British one.

All in all, "Monarchy" is wonderfully written and reads like a train. Starkey has managed to create one big, logical story in stead of a series of unconnected chapters as taught at school: Chapeau!

1.0 out of 5 stars Monarchy, from the Tudors to the Windsors , 24 Dec 2007

By	Guy Croft (Lincoln UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

David Starkey should stick to TV documentary portrayals of history, because without the TV behind him he is DULL DULL DULL. All he has succeeded in doing - with this book - and I've read a few - is reducing the story of this explosive period to the dull chronology of a cost-effective and judiciously-crafted university lecture.
Any fool can do that. VERY disappointed. At �8.99 - frankly, 10 x what it is worth.

I bought this out of a sense of duty - my knowledge of English history is pretty poor - and was expecting it to be rather dry. Read more
