What Customers Say About A Treasury of Royal Scandals: The Shocking True Stories History's Wickedest, Weirdest, Most Wanton Kings, Queens, Tsars, Popes, and Emperors:

I've always enjoyed learning what they don't put in history textbooks, and this has definitely quenched my thirst for that. I love history, always have, always will. I'd give it 10 stars if it were an option. I have a strong backround when it comes to these topics, but it can appeal to anyone even if they don't know who Henry VIII was. I've always had a huge interest in Europe's royalty both ancient and contemporary. This book tells of all the naughty and odd behaviors of some of the most famous leaders in history and squeezes it into this witty, well researched masterpiece.
They really are different from you and me. Great book - it's fascinating and brings the royals to life.
The book is laid out nicely in different sections with different themes that are coherent and easy to follow even if you aren't a student of history and are unfamiliar with names from the past. Writing on the gulity pleasures and outrageous behavior of everyone from Catherine the Great of Russia to England's Henry V, Farquhar describes in detail a symphony of information and jaw dropping behavior that is almost to obsurd to believe. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who would like to know how kings and queens, princes and princesses, and even popes lived out their outrageous lives that make today's world leaders incredibly dull by comparison. A Treasury of Royal Scandals is an incredibly entertaining look at the men and women who have held power throughout the centuries. Farquhar's writing style is easy to follow and reads more like a novel rather than the usual historical prose.
Farquhar has no sense of humor. A waste of money at any price.Flat and uninteresting.
A surprisingly boring read for such a juicy subject. A flat narration of some historical events.
