The Remarkable Life and Times of Eliza Rose

This book was really good. Predictible, but very good. It moved at a good pace, had believable/likeable characters, and incorporated a lot of fact with the fiction. I have a hard time with "historical fiction" sometimes because the writer gets so caught up in being "historically correct" that the voice of the story becomes dull and more like a history lesson than a novel. Mary Hooper did not do this. She seems to take into consideration that her readers are younger and have less patience for long-winded explanations that have little to do with the actual story.

It was a fantastic book, and the best I have read this year. This was the first Mary Hooper book I have read, but now I want to read more books by Mary Hooper. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone who is 12 and above.

Mary Hooper does an excellent job developing the character of Eliza Rose in this book. I couldn't but this book down, I read the whole thing in a few days! The book takes place in 16th century England, and you can acctually get involved with the characters and feel like you are there! This is definately a book to add to your collection, as it is beautifully written!

I have recently finished this fantastic book by Mary Hooper and I love it! Set in the 17th Century Mary Hooper's descriptions of the clothes, sights, smells, and general life of London are brilliant. I would recommend this book to a wide range of readers, (mostly girls), from 12, (I being 13), to adults. The journey taken by this exquisite character I enjoyed throughly and could barely take the time to put it down. I hope that you as well take the time to read "The Remarkable Life and Times of ELIZA ROSE".
