Good Book for the Serious Reader

This book is well written and seems to be very well researched. It contains a lot of detail to back up the author's explanations of the general trends and the momentous events that developed during the Tudor Age. The treatment of the system of punishments of that society's offenders is detailed and not for the squeamish, although it is not presented in a truly sensationalized form. I think this book will please those who are satified by having a lot of coherent facts very intelligently presented; however, it may not please those who seek out a writing style that has more flair and flourish.
