Took me quite a while to read this. I started it, but stopped to read 2 other books. But that isn't the only reason it took me so long. The subject of the book is so odious, so corrupt, so nasty, I could only read a few pages at a time. Then I had to ...more

“He rose late. He was recklessly extravagant and a notorious womaniser. The King was never a cipher. But well before his world was clouded by illness and insanity his capacity for public business was limited. He was idle, slow-witted and easily bored.”
