My Favorite Book

This book is AWESOME! Oliver Bernier gives such a great detail on Louis the Beloved, the life of Louis XV, so it is very enjoyable. What I think is amazing is that King Louis XV of France ruled from age 5, to age 65. He married a Polish princess when he was twelve, had 7 kids, and he was such a great king. He escaped assassination, lived long enough to see his grand-daughter in-law! Mr. Bernier is such a great author, and I should check out his biography of Lafayette, too. I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!

Well written but overly flattering review of Louis XV

I thought this to be a well written book, and very easy to read. Having read some prior works on Louis XV (as well as Madame de Pompadour), I thought that the portrayal was overly flattering. One would have thought that Louis XV was the greatest King of France, and by the end of the book, one feels that truly all the disasters that happened or would befall the monarchy were someone else's fault.
