This was a fun book to read. Each chapter is short so you can read it as you please. Each chapter gives a quick synopsis of the monarch and what made them "mad". Some of the infamous characters covered are: Isabella "she wolf" of France, Vlad the Impaler, Juana of Castille, Ivan the Terrible, Elizabeth Bathory, Peter the Great, Mustafa I of Turkey and Catherine the Great. If you are looking for biographical info on each monarch this is not the book for you. Each monarch is covered in 3 - 4 pages, but those few pages cover the most mad aspects of each character. If you like to read about lechery this book is for you!
