Helpful Score: 1
Overly romantic depiction of Richard III. The simplistic and unimaginative prose made it very difficult to finish this book. I felt I was reading a low-level YA novel. Both Anne and Richard suffer from one-note characterizations - they're both totes in love with each other and are sainted sufferers. The author also has an unbelievably hacktacular moment at the end of the book by slightly tweaking the Sullivan Ballou letter (from Ken Burns' The Civil War documentary) and having it written by one of the characters. Unbelievable. .5 stars
