Oh, Phillipa Gregory. I read anything you write no matter how eye-twitch-inducing. Bonus: your novels get an extra star every time they don't involve incest.
Somehow, author Philippa Gregory manages to take one of the Western world's best known stories, give it a new spin, and make it fresh and appealing. The Other Boleyn Girl is told from the perspective of Anne's (possibly) younger sister, Mary, but is ultimately a finely drawn portrait of a group of p...
I had heard this was a good book and my library had it on audio so I thought I'd try it. I listened for about half an hour then turned it off. I couldn't follow the story very well and in my mind I kept comparing it to the Masterpiece Theatre series I watched years ago on the wives of Henry VIII. ...
When it comes to history I have always tended towards places such as Ancient Egypt, Ancient Rome and Russia. I've never had much interest in England as a whole and little interest in the royalty.

Fantastic book. I like how this really puts an insider twist on a story almost everybody knows well. Mary could get a bit whiny at times, and Anne could be a downright bitch, but all in all, it is a well thought out story and a fun read.
