The first thought I've had in my head after I read this book was that life as a Victorian was dreadful. It's like before you live a life (or at least a good life), you die. You will survive if you are born in a not-that-poor family, no one tries to murder you, you don't work too much, good food and drink are given to you, you don't catch any diseases, you don't be or meet a villain, you don't get killed in an accident, war doesn't affect you, you don't commit suicide in a society like this... well? Though it's not like you don't get any fun at all, it's just a tiny possibility you will have fun in the Victorian age. At the time, there were already brilliant and not-so-brilliant sports, books, poems, stories, 
plays... Did you know the famous English writer William Wordsworth is a Victorian? 

My favorite part of the book was about Queen Victoria, I just think she is particularly interesting. We can't say she is foolish, but she just isn't smart. I love her emotions about her country and about her cousin-husband Albert, but I am not quite sure they love her. Though as the "longest" and "shortest" queen in English history, let us give her some applause. 

Oh, and read the book if you find something interesting or something you don't understand here, it's pretty fun :)
