Didn’t Like It

this one was in the same "voice" as The Heir (and either a prequel or sequel - it was hard to tell) and very difficult to read. Did not finish.

    This is a retelling of the story of Elizabeth I, set in modern times, with a corporation at stake rather than a country. I think Elizabeth I had a fascinating life and can't understand how a good author like Bradford could make it so very boring.

    What a disappointment! Maybe I should have known since the last part of the second book headed in a direction I didn't like. This was no different. However, since it was based on Queen Elizabeth I life I thought the story would have some excitement in it, but it didn't. It was almost boring, yet I continued to read it and I'm still trying to figure out why. Maybe I was hoping it would improve.

    From the storytelling magic of Barbara Taylor Bradford comes a modern retelling of the drama and intrigue surrounding the 16th-century Queen Elizabeth. Instead of England, the throne is the business empire of the Deravenels. And this Elizabeth is the most powerful Managing Director in its history. Surrounded by rumors and betrayal, Elizabeth Deravenel must steer her company clear of takeovers, and at the same time keep her heart from being broken as scandal surrounds the one man she's ever loved. It's Barbara Taylor Bradford at her very best.


    F BRADFORD

    Typical of this author -- good story, but stilted conversation. Also fairly predictable. Quick read.
