A review by nathanjhunt
Henry VIII: The Quest For Fame by John Guy
informative
fast-paced
4.0
This was my 8th book finished in 2024.
This was an enjoyable and well-written read, which was easy to understand without complicated language (as has been the problem with others in the series). I flew through this on a flight from New Zealand to the UK.
It shows Henry in a neutral light, stating unbiased facts. It leads you to form your own conclusion... Successful reformer or tyrannical despot?
I did think it would have more about his marriages, though...
