The Last Imperial Family of Russia submitted by adipirro on July 18, 2011, 2:49pm This book is about the last imperial family of Russia, the Romanov family. This story focuses mostly on the youngest daughter of the Romanov family, Anastasia Nicholaevna Romanova, or more simply Anastasia.

In this book the author tries to bring to life the last few years of the rule of the Romanov dynasty through Anastasia's eyes. However, little is known about Anastasia's life so the author creates a romance for her.

To her family Anastasia is still a child. The "clown" of the family and so they look to her to cheer themselves up, and also the member of the family that isn't supposed to understand the difficulties of her own family . But through her romance with a young guard she learns what life is like for the people that are ruled by her father and also when times get even worse, secrets that no one in the royal family is supposed to know... especially the youngest of the family.

Good submitted by alumeng.ajl on June 17, 2012, 2:01pm I really like this book. You need some background on the history about what happened, but if you have that, it's really good.

Not a teen book submitted by jmock on July 24, 2012, 10:12pm Waay too sexual. I think most of it was completely unnecessary.
