Yes... I also wondered who Eugene was. I can't decide if that person misremebered his name, or if that person fabricated their own version of his name. Hmmm...
I suppose, I can understand why certain people may not have been as enamored by the political intrigue as I was. It's not to everyone's taste to obsess over the events of the malagnant Tudor court.
But still...
One would think they might have a better appreciation of the level of skill it takes to weave layers and layers of cryptic messages into a 200 page (averaging) young adult novel.
Mrs. Turner's portral of politcal intrigue is quite acurate to the the courts of Europe. If they knew what is historical and not what is pop-culture historical, they would know that.
I'm still laughing over the whole "gays didn't exist in ancient times" comment. Clearly, they've never heard of Sapho.
