This book was purportedly a history of the downfall of the Romanov Dynasty worthy of a Pulitzer Prize-winning author. It is not. Massie used the important historical events as scaffolding, and overburdened the scaffolding with endless, tedious details of the minutiae of the lives of Nicholas and Alexandra. Massie described Nicholas' diary (which apparently was an important source of material for his book) as a faithful daily decription of "...the state of the weather, the number of birds he shot and the names of those with whom he walked and dined." It was kept "...primarily as a catalogue of engagements, written in a terse, monotonous prose..." Unfortunately for his audience, Massie matched the monotony. Important historical events were mentioned, but Massie could easily have eliminated 80% of this book and still told an interesting story.
