im always intrigued on the era of Queen Elizabeth, although this might a little hard to ponder but as you understand it deeply it gets very interesting

I enjoy books that takes history and incorporates it into the story with a twist.

I like to read books about Elizabethan times, so the review on The Royal Secret by John Bentley is right on time. I like that the review was descriptive and did not contain a spoiler. I cannot wait to read this nice book.

A most wonderful review. I find it quite fascinating that the time period moves back and forth between a modern society and the Elizabethian era. This novel seems like a book that has much mystery and thrill to unfold, keeping a reader in antagonisingly delicious aniticipation. And the link between the two worlds that is so vastly different is most intriguing. These aspects of confusion you mention is actually something I would delight in. This aspect of the book intensifies the almost realistic feel of the novel by keeping the reader as confused or clueless as a character of the novel. This is definitely a novel I would absolutely love to read.

This is a really great review! I would never pick a book like this up off the shelf but now I'm extremely excited to read this book. Great job at selling this book but also being critical at the same time.

Well as I review it. At first sounds like boring but when I read it. It's nice but some of the word are little confused and I really read it slowly to understand .

This was a fantastic read! The blending of history, philosophy and contemporary events worked very well within an exciting plot. The characters are all well developed and John's writing style is refreshing. I would highly recommend this book; especially to anyone that want's to learn.
