I was not impressed with this book at all, and I think the movie is much better then the book. I think if I had not seen the movie this book would have been hard to follow. Overall I felt the book was not written very well, perhaps because it was based on a screenplay. Not worth reading again or recommending to others.

As far as historical accuracy goes, this is a total dud, but it's still very readable and a good distraction. I feel like if I review the book, I have to review the movie...so...I'll be lazy this time.
Not really historical, mostly just fluffy fiction.

It has been a long time since I have read this. It was one of the first historical novels I read so I can not really tell anymore if this one was good or bad, but I must have enjoyed it at the time, esp. since I spent only 25 cents on the Dutch translation :-)
Historically gunk, but a whole load of fun! It's extremely readable, even though it's full of cliches, it's full of them in a fun way. Nice to read when you don't want anything taxing on your brain but don't want to read stupid stuff that's annoying.
This novel isn't a standout, but I really did enjoy reading it. I always enjoy fiction that takes a historical figure or event and theorizes about the "holes" of the past and Elizabeth is such a fascinating individual.
Pretty short and easy to read. I liked learning more about her history.
The movie was so much better.
It was okay. I would have preferred more fact and less ficton. However this book is very easy to read
