Author Barry Denenberg brings us into the whirlwind that is the life of Princess Elisabeth of Austria. A free and impetuous spirit, Elisabeth was chosen at the tender age of fifteen (over her older sister) to be the wife of Franz Joseph, Emperor of Austria. From that moment on, she is thrown into an intimidating world of restrictions and tremendous responsibilities. Feeling lonely and alienated, Elisabeth is forced to rely upon her own personal strength, which is what eventually leads her down the aisle and into an uncertain future.

Summary: Not a Good Book to Lose Yourself In
Comment: Elisabeth was hard to get into; it starts out boring, and doesn't really get any better over time. I love the Royal Diaries, but I have to say that this wasn't their best book. It's only 93 pages of actual story, so it's not a good book for a fast reader.

Summary: What a Beautiful Girl, er Book!
Comment: This story about Elisabeth a.k.a. Sisi, is fascinating in every way possible.
It is about a girl visiting the Emperor to final marriage arrangements between the handsome Emperor and Sisi's sister, Helene. But Franz Joseph is delighted with beautiful Elisabeth, that he choses HER to be his wife, to his mother's dismay. To read more about Elisabeth's life with the Emperor(or about her long, aubourn hair) don't flip through the pages of this novel, but actually read it.

Summary: Interesting Take on the Life of an Empress
Comment: I liked this book. It was a lot of fun to read it. It is about a girl who will marry the Emperor of Austria and become the Empress. I liked how the book described the complex personality of Elisabeth. She likes animals (especially horses), but she also likes looking beautiful. I found her love for the Emperor believable. It was different from other books in the Royal Diaries series because most of the books gloss over girls wanting to look pretty. However, I thought it could have elaborated on her relationship with her mother more. The length was short, but it shouldn't stop you from reading this interesting book.
