This book is for true fans, not of the Middle Ages rule of Henry VIII, but of the fiction, movies and TV shows that provide us with some fact wrapped in cloth of gold and velvet entertainment. Real spoof and satire, reading the book is like sharing a love for fuzzy slippers or cat videos with your social network friends.

An interesting little read outlining this strange illness. I particularly enjoyed the section on proposed treatments.

Ridgway's essay on the Sweating Sickness is exactly what the title claims. The essay is a good overview, introduction, what you need to know about the illness. She even covers how the illness is depicted in fiction. Nicely done discussion about what it could or could not be.

I picked this book on amazon when it was first published. I'm a fan of the author's blog, though I don't always have time to read it. I knew some of the information would be repetitive, but I was expecting some new information as well.

I wasn't expecting that within the book itself, there was a lot of repeat information. I got the impression she just gathered up all the articles on her blog with the same tag & put them together as a book, instead of actually editing the articles by hand to make sure they didn't mention the same info over & over again. A few beta readers probably would have helped, too.

That being said - I do enjoy Ridgway's blog & I am a big Tudor buff - both the fiction stuff & the real actual historical facts & I do think this book is a great place to start, especially if you are new to her blog.
