Sex with Kings: 500 Years of Adultery, Power, Rivalry, and Revenge (P.S.)
by Eleanor Herman
I agree 100%--I didn't even really want to bother finishing it, but I did. How can anyone make royal mistresses boring???

Although the topic was very interesting, the organization of this book completely killed it. Herman jumps around from one royal mistress to the next, and it became very difficult to follow who was who - I found myself flipping back to earlier chapters to see who she was talking about. I really wanted to enjoy this book, but I couldn't even finish it. With a good editor and some chronological organization, it has potential to be really interesting stuff. As it is, it's only poorly written, unorganized information.
