Book Review1-2



I read the book"MARY OF SCOTS".This story is about Mary who is a Queen of Scots.When the story started,She was caught by Queen Elizabeth of England in Fortheringhay Castle.She had a son.He was James and became the King of Scotland.One day,she wrote to him about her life before her death.
When she was baby,she became the Queen of Scots.And she went to France to marry the King of France's son, Francis. His father died,and her husband became King.So she was the Queen of France and Scotland then.But Francis became ill and died soon.There was a new King and Queen in France,so she came back to Scotland.Next,she married Henry Darnely Who was King of Scots and James's father.At first,he stayed with her but he began to go out with his friend in the town and drink.So she felt lonely and needed friends.One day she found a friend who was a young Italian guy,David Riccio.He was not handsome so much as Henry, but he was very clever and interesting.One day,Henry doubted that she had an affair with Ricco.And he killed him. So she hated Henry.Then she was pregnant.When she bore their baby,he slept with other women.Later,he became ill and was killed by someone. So she married Bothwell again. Unhappily,she was doubted whether she killed Henry or not. And she was caught by Elizabeth's army and put in prison. Elizabeth hated her because she was Catholic, beautiful,had three husband and so on. Finally,she was executed.
This book is easy for me to read. Because I could have intersted in this story and there were few difficult words in this book. When I was a first year student, I learned about British affairs.Then I learned Scot. So I could understand background. It was not so long. But I could enjoy reading.
