In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, the Osage rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe.

Eye Opening and Gripping
Revisado: 06-14-18
This was an eye opening book, looking into a chapter of history that I had no idea about. It felt more like a novel than a historical book. The performance was excellent.

When Jen, the largest, most complete Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton ever found, surfaces in Sherriff Walt Longmire's jurisdiction, it appears to be a windfall for the High Plains Dinosaur Museum - until Danny Lone Elk, the Cheyenne rancher on whose property the remains were discovered, turns up dead, floating face down in a turtle pond. With millions of dollars at stake, a number of groups step forward to claim her, including Danny's family, the tribe, and the federal government.

Engaging Action
Revisado: 05-20-16
I have been a fan of the Longmire TV series but this is the first book I have read or listened to. The performance was flawless, I felt like I was really listening to Walt. The book is suspenseful and funny and the characters are well drawn and three dimensional.

Heiress to the red rose of Lancaster, Margaret Beaufort never surrenders her belief that her house is the true ruler of England and that she has a great destiny before her. Her ambitions are disappointed when her sainted cousin Henry VI fails to recognize her as a kindred spirit, and she is even more dismayed when he sinks into madness.

Insufferable but Fascinating
Revisado: 06-11-15
Would you try another book from Philippa Gregory and/or Bianca Amato?
Yes, her painting of life in the era is impeccable. She probably stays true to who Margaret was, but she was not someone I'd have as a friend or even a acquaintance. I think if you were to count the number of times she said that she was "called by God" or something to that effect, it would be several times per chapter.
That said, it was a fascinating listen, replete with the drama of the age and I didn't find myself wanting to walk away from the book. I was just annoyed with Margaret - a lot - during the entire book.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
It was good. No spoilers - her son, Henry Tudor becomes Henry VII which is an historic fact.
Which scene was your favorite?
I liked the battles, which were told and narrated from another point of view.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
As long as Margaret didn't say she was "called by God" constantly.
