Margaret George's Mary Queen of Scotland & the Isles brings to life the fascinating story of Mary, who became the Queen of Scots when she was only six days old.

Don't buy it

Don't buy it. Not even close to accurate. Do not waste your money. enough words for you to accept my review

Too Much Information

Exhaustive is the key word here. This is my first Margaret George book and I mostly enjoyed it but I could have done with a little less detail as I started to lose interest in places. But, will try another of hers in the future.

Long... too long

I love a long audio book, but I had to force myself to continue this. Mary did not come across as proud and strong, rather petulant and whiney. Her imprisonment became my imprisonment, and I began to long for the day the book would come to an end.

Well worth the time

I’ve wanted to read this for so long. I read Margaret George’s Cleopatra many years ago and I bought this physical book right after. But I never had time to read the huge novel and it collected dust on my bookshelf. Searching for great novels to listen to on Audible recently, I came across it again. I’ve always been intrigued by the real story of Mary. I gave it a listen and was immediately hooked. I was astounded by just how many poor decisions she made in her life! So many times I wanted to reach through the book and throttle her!! But, of course, I know how her story ends. In the end I expected to be sad when she met her ultimate fate, but instead I was feeling as though she really got what she deserved. Great novel, though. Well worth the wait!
