Catherine de' Medici was a ruthless pragmatist and powerbroker who dominated the throne for 30 years. Her youngest daughter, Marguerite, the glamorous "Queen Margot," was a passionate free spirit, the only adversary whom her mother could neither intimidate nor control.

Annoying narration

Ruined a good book. So affected, very tiresome elocution mars a wonderful historical treatise on a subject rarely covered.

Elizabeth of York would have ruled England, but for the fact that she was a woman. One of the key figures of the Wars of the Roses, daughter of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville, she married Henry Tudor to bring peace to a war-torn England. In Elizabeth of York: The First Tudor Queen, Alison Weir builds a portrait of this beloved queen, placing her in the context of the magnificent, ceremonious, often brutal world she inhabited.

Is there anything you would change about this book?
the readers affectations were so distracting. She lowered her voice and adopted a foreign accent whenever there were quotes or italics.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
completely

James A. Garfield may have been the most extraordinary man ever elected president. Born into abject poverty, he rose to become a wunderkind scholar, a Civil War hero, and a renowned and admired reformist congressman. Nominated for president against his will, he engaged in a fierce battle with the corrupt political establishment. But four months after his inauguration, a deranged office seeker tracked Garfield down and shot him in the back. But the shot didn’t kill Garfield. The drama of what happened subsequently is a powerful story of a nation in turmoil.

Where does Destiny of the Republic rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
A very good look at our country in the 1880's.
Well written, well researched about a pivotal time in our history, the transition from post Civil war to the dawn of the gilded age. A very personal look at politics and human nature.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The end was very moving.
Any additional comments?
The reader was good
