"It took me a chapter or two to really get in to this book. I found the prose to be rather simply put, but after a few chapters, I was sucked in to the story. I found myself devouring page after page at any free moment and wondering what would happen next at odd moments throughout the day. But as I drew close to the end, I started getting the sense that the author had lost interest in her subject. Another reviewer mentioned that the last few chapters feel really rushed, and with this I totally agree. The rest of the book is so detailed, and yet the last few chapters barely skim over the rest of Lady Hamilton's life. It's a shame because this could be a really great book otherwise."
"Ugh. Honestly, if I didn't know this was based on fact...and, I assume, solid research...I'd have chucked it across the room by now.
I loathe the "Glorious" Lady Hamilton, and would be inclined to chuck HER across the room if I had the chance and the strength. I know, I could swing her around by her ankle-length hair, if it'd hold (I know what MY hair looks like when it gets too long...I can only imagine what hers must have looked like).
I HATE perky, can-do types; give me a maladjusted, confused, incapable protagonist any time...at least I can relate to THAT!"
"I was in love with this book up until the ending. I felt like the author got to a point in the story where she would have liked to end it but decides to tell us what becomes of the main character but as quickly as possible. The last few chapters of this book just felt rushed to me. No where near as much detail as the rest of the book."
