A review by ginacz
Sex with Kings by Eleanor Herman

3.0

I didn't dislike this as much as everyone else in my book club did. I strenuously object to the way it was arranged, but I'm such a sucker for the raw material that I actually did enjoy it. It would have been far better arranged by time period or by country or by monarch; the jumping from one factoid to the next made it impossible to really remember anything other than the odd anecdote (2,500 baby corpses!). I would still probably take a crack at Herman's "Sex with Queens," but I really wish someone else had written it.
