The Bad Queen Rules and Instructions for MarieAntoinette Carolyn Meyer Books

The queen is a little naive about what shall be expected of her to goveren beside her husband. Even though she is not allowed to have any real political power, Louis still values Marie's opinion on everything. Of course, all of the people blame the queen for the problems they are facing and she is an easy scapegoat being that she has no limits on her spending. I do not understand why Marie could not see the dangers when it came to living a life this way when all of France was starving, except for the rich people. The story starts off fun with Marie having plenty of servents, rich fabrics for her wardrobe, and the enless instructions she must get use to. In this book court equatte plays an important part. The young queen decides to make up her own rules when she becomes queen. However, she is not aware of the warnings that come with being queen. She tries to curb her spending, but this does not satisfy the people. THEY WANT HER BLOOD AND NOTHING WILL SATISFY THEM! I love how the author makes the reader feel that Marie's life will be nothing but parties, thearter acting, and endless mindless gossip. We are swept up into her world of illisuions and it all comes crashing down when the monarachy is abolished. No more kings and queens for France. They want a republic now. Marie looses her servants, status as queen, husband, what little power she had, children, and eventually her head. The same fate happens for her husband as well.

ON a strange note, the story picks up with her daughter. I found this interesting being that Marie's daughter has a story of her own. She eventually tells the tragic end to her mother's life. But she escapes with her freedom, married, but becomes a wanderer throughout her entire life. She is made Queen of France, along with her husband, but only for half an hour. Seeing what happened to her parents, I do not believe being Queen of France is something that the young princess looked forward to.

The Bad Queen Rules and Instructions for MarieAntoinette Carolyn Meyer Books Reviews

Carolyn Meyer is an amazing author highly recommend
I love her writing, but now I understand one more reason the French Revolution happened. I found myself having some sympathy for her but wishing she had a stronger husband.
Not a bad book, but not very insightful. It's the usual novel-ization of a historical biography. Read quickly, and I engaged with the characters (they flash by rather quickly, though), but still a little superficial in that you never really understand and sympathize with why M.A. acted as she did. Still, it is a young adult book, not a scholarly tome, but would be more meaningful if it developed some sense of why the primary character ignored so many signs leading her to a sad end (you do feel sorry for her, and the execution scene is described in a sympathetic way).
I know this is a work of historical fiction; however it also reveals that the vilified Marie Antoinette we heard was a kind mother and perhaps a woman of much greater fortitude than she is ever given credit for.
If you are interested in the lives and customs of royalty then you will love this book. It puts flesh and blood to the villian of the French Revolution. You understand her actions and even feel sympathetic for her after this book. The dialogue and interactions in this book are completely natural. I full heartedly reccomend and the seller was on time with the delivery and generous on the price.
Carolyn Meyer uses a clever technique for each chapter in this retelling of the Marie Antoinette story. Each chapter begins with "Rules and Instructions" she must learn in order to become the proper Queen of France. She never quite gets it, however and you know what happens. The author thoroughly entertains with her lovely writing style. The poor doomed king and queen are sympathetic, three dimensional characters. Excellent read.
Actually Marie Antoinette did not say that. She was not necessarily a bad queen per se as she was inexperienced and not u understanding of the level of poverty from the people below her caste.

Meyer did a great job bringing this story to iLife and followed History pretty closely.
