Pauline Bonaparte: Venus of Empire Book

I'm giving 2 stars not because of the writing (I read Flora Fraser's book "Princesses" and really liked it) but because of the subject. Pauline Bonaparte was certainly a colorful personality, but in the end, not much more than that. It was interesting to learn about the Bonaparte family (a part of history I am sadly lacking much education in) but in the end, Bonaparte is, well, I'd say the Paris Hilton of her generation but, as much as it pains me to say this, I think Paris Hilton has accomplished more with her life. Towards the end I was wondering why I was reading about Bonaparte. I don't think there is much more beyond the surface of this subject than the fanciful details I read in the review which originally intrigued me. Biographical subjects don't necessarily need to be world-shakers, but I do need to come away feeling like there was a reason why I read that person's biography.
