Catherine The Great Journey Russia 1743 The Royal Diaries Kristiana Gregory 9780439253857 Books

I ordered this book from Big Hearted Books. It arrived on time and was great quality. I was very satisfied.
Also, I greatly enjoye reading the book. I only have three complaints: 1) it was very detailed through the first 3/4 of the book. After that, the entries become more sparse and far less detailed. It makes the ending somewhat ambiguous and disappointing; 2) the majority of the entries are not dated, which makes determining the time that has elapsed, and keeping up with the actu historical record, difficult; 3) the afterword with the information about Catherine the Great and her life is extremely basic, giving really no other information about her that the other books in the series normally give. Overall, 5/5 stars for order from the company; 3.5/5 stars for the actual book. However, I definitely recommend it, as Catherine the Great is a wonderful and very intriguing woman. :-)

This book was informational but still had child-like fun in it. So cool!
I love this book as much as I love cats

I bought this book for my daughter, but read it myself first- it draws you in- very good to learn about Russian history...
These books do not grab the attention as the Girls of Many Lands series. They're okay but children lost interest easily where with the other series, they were anxious to have the next reading session to find out what happened next.
Young readers need to understand the dire circumstances the world has gone through without the finer details that tend to drag down the story. Catherine, The Great journey, Russia offers this opportunity. Girls especially should read this account of one of the greatest women in history, her life, her destiny, and her accomplishments.
I loved this series of books as a kid. Any girl who dreams of being a princess will enjoy it. There are a dozen other books in the series although they are written by other authors. The target age group is upper elementary school. These also allow children to build reading stamina. They are around 200 pages but because of the diary format kids can read them quickly.

Here is another wonderful Royal Diary addition. Catherine the Great is of interest to me, having read Henri Troyat's superb rendition of her life and reign. This novel, fictionally 'written' by Catherine, follows Troyat's own work closely and is remarkably consistent with the facts of Catherine's early life, and with the tone of Catherine's personality and style.

This book would be highly approachable for children and adults of all ages. The historical accuracy is superb and provides a valuable insight into the early life of Catherine, while being rich and personal enough to compel more than a historical interest from the reader. The author, Gregory, touches on the most salient points of Catherine's journey into Russia to meet the Empress and to become betrothed to the crown prince. Catherine touches on the bitter cold and the hardships of travel, and describes her own serious illness which endeared her so strikingly to the Russian people - it was widely believed that her illness was caused by her ceaseless studies to learn the language and customs of her chosen people.

While I usually list the potential concerns a parent may have with the Royal Diary in question, there is not too much here to be concerned about - no wars, violence, or wounded in these pages. The crown prince's cruelty and madness which surfaced later in life is suppressed here, probably for the best. Catherine's mother, however, is remarkably cruel and harsh to her daughter, which might disturb very young readers. Also, the Empress' odd custom of enforcing cross-dressing balls (where the men dress in ladies' clothes and the women dress in mens' clothes) is noted briefly here - historically accurate, but potentially confusing for a very young reader. The incident is dealt with quickly and carefully, however, and should not be a deterrent to an older reader.
