Summary
If you want to discover the captivating life of Ivan the Terrible, then pay attention...
Considering that he has gone down in history as Ivan the Terrible, the first tsar of Russia could hardly have been a boy scout. As his name suggests, Ivan had an utterly terrifying presence during his 37-year-long reign.
Ivan's story is not only one of brutality, it is also a tale of great suffering. It's the story of a little boy whose father died when he was just a toddler and a story of a child whose mother was poisoned when he was only seven years old. This was a boy who had to struggle to survive as the warring nobility threatened, molested, and harassed him endlessly while he tried to protect his only friend - his deaf and mute little brother.
This is also the tale of a young man who was desperate for power to defend himself and found it when he was made the tsar. And it's almost the story of a good and capable ruler whose wild temper was soothed by the presence of a tsaritsa who seemed capable of calming the storm that was Ivan's mind. But sadly, Ivan's beloved first wife was poisoned and died in agony, plunging him into a cauldron of darkness and depression that produced the tyrant that has gone down in history as a monster.

Interesting
I enjoyed this book and got through it fairly quickly, but I'm not sure what the appropriate review should be. I came into this knowing nothing of Ivan except his name. The book told a complete story of a life and convinced me quite thoroughly of the man's wicked ways indeed.

Horrifying
Ivan was a curse to his country. A coward, religious zealot, rabid inferiority complex and a downright homicidal maniac. Something of a horrowing experience following this maniac through his reign of absolute terror.
