"Soon after 20th Century Fox came out with their animated classic "Anastaisia" in 1997, "Romanov Mania" swept the country yet again. What really happened to the Imperial Family in 1918? Did anyone survive? Were the romantic stories about Anastasia's escape true? All of these questions stirred my intrest in addition to the intriging history behind this historic era in Russia. This book was very interresting and informative about the time the Romanov family spent in exile in Tobolsk and Ekaterinburg. When their very lives seemed to be crumbling around them their family only seemed to get closer and more reliant upon their faith. It was amazing, knowing when most would be crying out in protest on being treated so harshly, (and probably killed a lot sooner) the Imperial family took most of their plight in stride and trusted God to protect them, and the govenment that they felt they ran the best they knew how would rescue them. True, their rescue did not come in time, but it did issue in a new form of government and new form of politics in Russia. But, like them we will all be asking, did they really have to die and will Anastasia and the Romanov name ever "Rise Again?""
"I had always been fascinated by the story of Anastasia, the Romanov princess who may or may not have survived the brutal execution of her family. From the movie starring Yul Brynner and Ingrid Bergman, the cartoon version of the same name, "Yes, Anastasia" by Tori Amos...anyway, this book was absolutely fascinating reading and still gives a twist at the end. If you think you know the story of Anastasia I would highly recommend this book. It's got great photographs as well. There is some grisly stuff in there from time to time, but this family was executed and this is a bit of a CSI book. Totally worth plowing through to get to the end: the solving of a great mystery."
