librarianryan 's review for:

King Charles by Maria Isabel Sánchez Vegara
3.0
informative medium-paced

 
There’s something about this book that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Charles has so much history that while this book is trying to cover parts it’s also purposely leaving out lots of things. I do applaud them for their mention of his first bride before his marrying of Camilla And I am happy that wasn’t left out. However, this book tries to make him out to be this well-intentioned, always happy, always loving individual. And for kids, I guess it works. But for this adult reader, it just seems too happy go lucky in a Holly Golightly way to make this a joy to read. I’m glad there’s something about King Charles, but it might be too soon for this book.
