Anastasia- The Last Grand Duchess February 26, 2004
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I really recommend it. I was doing an indepth project on Anastasia (I'm 11 years old and in year 6) and the other books I had were rather complicated. This gave me a chance to read about her life and understand it. It really was like reading a child's diary. It made me want to find out so much more about Anastasia.
 Interesting Portraial... August 14, 2003

This book was quite interesting, and somewhat historically accurate. However...there are some things written in it that gives only vague descriptions. It was hard for me to realize afterwards that this was *not* Anastasia's true diary. Personally, I believe the author did an amazing job discribing the day-to-day life of a young Grand Dutchess, but after a while, it seemed that the story began to lack. Not in truth, but in description and the portraial of Anastasia's life. I am quite pleased that, for once, the author wrote the ages of the family correctly. It seems to me that many times, the author tries to make them younger then they really were at the time (IE: the Fox home video of Anastasia). All in all, it was a good book, and did "portray" as one would say, the way a Grand Dutchess might have lived durring that time.
A 7 years-old girl's review July 16, 2003

I am Portuguese and bought this book for my 7 years-old daughter Diana, Portuguese too, who attends an English school here in Portugal. She has just finished reading it and these are her words:"This book was fantastic. It says loads of things that I didn't know about Anastasia, my favourite princess. I just didn't like when she looked for her sisters' diaries. I think she would not like if they did the same to her.
I try to read a lot because I want to become a writer - don't know yet if in Portuguese or in English - and this book has helped me a lot.
I want to thank the author for having written such a wonderful book and helped me with my ideas. "

I own this book and it is unbelievably fabulous. Carolyn Meyer is an absolutely wonderful artist. I had just seen the cartoon film 'Anastasia' and I loved it so I was looking out for anything related and this book really fuelled my thirst. Brilliant!
A DEFFINATE MUST BUY January 2, 2001
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is the third book in the series I have read {I have also read Elizabeth and Marie Antoinette}and I have just finished it five minutes ago.I have always been interested in the tragic lives of the Romonovs and this book was a terrific read. This book is an easy way of learning because it is not just fact after fact after fact. It has fiction woven around the truth in diary form. It tells of her relationships with Olga, Tatiana, Maska{Marie} and Alexei. But even in her own diary the question asked for over 83 years "Did Anastasia survive the firing squad?"
