George Brings Life to History October 6, 1997
A wonderful account of the life of Mary. Margaret George fills the reader with historical facts withoutthe reader ever knowing it. By the end of thebook, I felt a certain political suave at the recognitionof Mary as a failure as a Queen due to herundeniable humanity. Mary's continual poor choicesin life had far reaching consequences that Georgeallows the reader to deduct without stating theobvious. At times the book did progress a littleslow, especially Mary's time held captive by Elizabeth, but overall a well written historylesson.
 Mary lives, Long Live the Queen, thanks to M. George. August 21, 1997
Margaret George brings Mary, Queen of Scots to such life in this novel that it is hard to believe she ever died. It is colorful, brilliant, alive, and downright "un-put-downable." Do not let the 800-plus page length of this novel put you off - it was the quickest, most fascinating and brilliant read I have enjoyed in a long time! George's grasp of character, history, and mindset are amazing! Che Sherman Sun Valley, CA
A great read for historical fiction lovers! May 19, 1996
I accidentally discovered Ms. George while working in the library, and instantly fell in love. Ms. George developes Mary to the point that I felt I was a close friend of hers and I could hardly put the book down for worrying about her and the inevitable that is coming. "Mary,..." is not a light read, but a fun one that's well worth your time.
