Essential Lives series.
These series entries, with straightforward writing and frequent sidebars and photos, are uneven in quality and interest level.
Elizabeth I is particularly dry and requires background knowledge. Lucille Ball's colorful personality barely comes through in her volume (the pictures help), and the subtitle for
Freud is odd (content is fine).
Assange is current through 2011. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Essential Lives titles:
Sigmund Freud,
Lucille Ball,
Julian Assange, and
Elizabeth I.
