Comment On Appertaining To Books The Other Boleyn Girl (The Plantagenet and Tudor Novels #9)

I will review this festering mound of shhh....surely quality literature, although I doubt I have anything to say about it that hasn't already been said. "Historical controvery" aside- I mean, *whatever,* Gregory totally went to the Dan Brown place, and as someone who's interested in history, I don't entirely appreciate it, but I think we intelligent people all know that this is fiction, despite what Gregory seems to be saying in the "Author's Q & A" thingy at the back of my copy.This is the

Utter rubbish. It is poorly written, particularly the embarrassing dialogue e.g. "she was hot for the King".The author selects a particularly fascinating period of history, but those events just weren't interesting enough apparently, so she makes up various events purely for their titillation value.There is much better historical fiction out there.

Find all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/ There is no room for mistakes at court. I have owned this book since Jesus was a toddler but never got around to reading it mainly because every time I even come close to the puppy squisher bookshelf, this guy gets a little antsy . . . . I have a vague recollection of being envious of ScarJos magnificent boobage in the film version . . . followed immediately by what I do best once I decide to watch a movie: fall asleep. Anyway, I

Disclaimer: Don't confuse this book with a biography of Mary Boleyn. It's fiction all the way. It's a good read when you remember that this is fiction and not a blow-by-blow account of historical events. And because it is fiction, Gregory is able to play a little fast and loose with historical fact. Mary was most likely the oldest Boleyn child, not the youngest as presented here. She had also served the French kings court, just as Anne did, but was sent home in disgrace after tales of her

It is an odd experience reading a novelisation of one of history's most infamous of kings. Whilst not being well-versed in the intricacies of court politics and the individuals who everyday walked this dance of intrigue and lies, I knew enough to understand what the outcome of this novel would undoubtedly be. This did not, however, deter from the skilful execution of each scene, the emotions extracted from me despite my familiarity with the ending, and my overall enjoyment of this novel. Also,

This was not only the first Philippa Gregory book that I read, but also what made me interested in the Tudors. I have read one copy to the point of disintegration and am now onto a second copy.Before reading this book, I had NO IDEA that Anne Boleyn had a sister. Pretty much all I knew was that Anne didn't give the king a son and got her head chopped off for it. This novel was riveting! I love books where I learn about things I had no idea about, and the icing on the cake is if it's done in an

I bought this book a few months back but I was hesitant to pick it up. Anne Boleyn's story is one I researched a long time ago and I wasn't too sure I wanted to revisit it. However this month I decided to read it with A. and A. so we could all discuss it and now I'm glad that I did it.I wasn't sure I was enjoying it very much at first. Mary Boleyn seemed, at times too innocent and tongue-tied, and at other times an intelligent observer of human nature. I wasn't too convinced with her as a
