I enjoyed the first part about the bones and the DNA. The first part about Anna Anderson was interesting, but went on too long. She was a nasty, quarrelsome, mentally unstable individual. The chapter about the living Romanovs I could have lived without. The very last chapter showing the journal of the the Tsarina was interesting. (

too long. some parts really interesting about the tsar and family. less interesting about the Romanov families who escaped and the false impersonators. (

The problem you have in reading this book is that it's very depressing; almost literally no one looks good in this narrative. Massie discusses the murder of the Russian Imperial Family in 1918, what happened to the bodies, early efforts in the Soviet period to recover the bodies, the formal effort to recover and scientifically identify the bodies, and further efforts to identify whether "Anna Anderson" was truly the Grand Duchess Anastasia. The sheer amount of selfishness, squabbling, small-mindedness, greed and in general foul behaviour that permeates the book during all of these events leaves a horrible taste in your mouth. The book is also slightly outdated (at least the edition I read), since the two "missing" bodies of the Czarevitch and one of the daughters turned up some years later. For Russian history mavens only, I'm afraid. (

This book was not what I anticipated: a thorough story of the Romanovs’ last days and execution. Instead it was about their bones: half the book—finding them, analyzing them, dna tests, the fights over them. Most of the second half was about whether there was an imposter survivor. Finally, an extraordinarily detailed genealogy of the post-execution surviving Romanovs. No detail is left unsaid: it was well-researched, dry, and tedious, but not so dry to bail. Recommended if this is a subject of interest already. (
