Review # 1 was written on 2013-07-06 00:00:00 Richard D. Salinas Very interesting read - I learned a lot I did not know and finally got clarification on who's who in the royal family (I've always gotten Princess Anne and Margaret confused for some reason). I liked the sometimes differing views of the people interviewed and it was really nice to get a better sense of the Queen's personality and what kind of life she really leads. Lots of questions about the future of the monarchy and the Commonwealth and what Charles would/will be like as King. Tally ho! I'm sure we will go by Buckingham Palace when we're in London next week and we'll wave a big hello :)

Review # 2 was written on 2017-04-16 00:00:00 Scott Melanson I'm sure a lot of research went into this book, the author even managed to interview a few living people connected to A.E., but boy, I just never warmed up to the writing style of the book. I have read well researched impartial biographies before, but somehow none of them felt like reading a robotic report. Frankly, even a Vulcan would have imbued the thing with more of a personality than Ms Rich did. But I suppose the book served me well enough. Amelia Earhart is one of the the few aviators whose name I've known as long as I can remember, yet recently I realised I didn't actually know all that much about her. This book definitely filled that gap quite well. I suppose that's what matters the most in the end. (Tho if someone can recommend me a better biography of A.E.'s *life*, I'd be glad to read it one day!)
