Summary: Well-researched but as dry as dust
Comment: This book succeeds where few others have: it somehow makes the time of the English Civil War, Charles II and Marlborough seem as dull as ditchwater. What I find doubly disturbing is that this book, the worst-written of all the Pelican History of England series, is the only one currently in print.

What were they thinking????

Rating: 2
Summary: Good but slow
Comment: This book is well written, JP Kenyon obviously knows his stuff, but it is dry and slow. In typical historical fashion this book is not an easy read, so a reader interested in a fast-paced representation of an era should not start with this book. It's a good overview of Stuart England, but the detail seems obscured and a bit unorganized. Save this book for research material, not for casual reading.
