This novel of historical fiction was very interesting. Told through the characters, like a diary, and very moving. If you enjoy historical fiction, this is a great book. Jo

This was very informative, excellent descriptions and narrators and I enjoyed it very much but do not get this book unless you have many hours to listen to all the CDs. I spend many hours on the road and at my computer and it was worth getting this book. Highly recommended.

Lady Jane Part 2

Although history tells us how this is all to end, this second part gives great insight to the sadness and unfairness this poor girl was made to endure her whole life.

I really enjoyed listening to this book! As a lover of British history I couldn't remember how Lady Jane Grey's life ends ... so the ending stayed a surprise to me - and so very well written! Having different readers take the different roles made it extremely interesting to listen to - and helped to keep the myriad of characters straight! I heartily recommend this book to history lovers.

Most excellent

What can one say. Allison Wier does it again. A well read well written story that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The story blends real fact with slight fiction to provide an engrossing story of the 9 day queen.

Jane For President!

Written by Jessica Campbell-Smith from Palm City, FL on November 28th, 2007

  • Book Rating: 5/5

This story is fascinating and riveting. What a terrible time to be a woman, yet what conviction and goodness Jane had despite her suppressed and unjust circumstances. Weir does a great job bringing Jane and her times to life and the narrators do a great job giving all the characters believable voices. I really felt like I knew these people, and when it comes to Lady Jane Grey I am thankful for it.

Good historic fiction

This story will make you very sad for the political machinations that Jane Grey was forced to endure. This book is a great way to get a free history set within the framework of a well-plotted story. I wish this book had been available to me when I was in high school and college.
