Hmmmm...I am amazed.I know that I'm not supposed to be very happy about how this book went.

This is an epic biography! It is thorough, not only giving readers a great portrait of Catherine, but also a great portrait of the place and times in which she lived. This is a lengthy, but extremely readable book.

Have you ever had a middle-aged man try to describe to you completing the games section of the New York Times? Did those experi...
