I thoroughly enjoyed this

I enjoyed this book so much, I read it twice. Rarely do I do that. I was disappointed in the watered-down film version, however. This is my first Philippa Gregory book, but certainly not my last.

An enjoyable read

Last week I finished reading The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory. I really enjoyed it. Historical fiction is not a genre I often read, and I picked up this novel for my Kindle on a whim. I'm very glad I did - the characters are well-rounded and realistic (especially Mary, who we watch progress from a naive child to mature woman of the court), the volatile tempers of Henry and Anne are beautifully described, and I found myself drawn in to the entire court setting and all of its various players.

As for length, I'd have to say it could have lost maybe 100 or so pages without hurting the story. I thought the middle chapters paled in comparison to the first and last third. Still, I would definitely recommend this to anyone who enjoys courtly intrigues and politics.

Held my interest

I liked this book, I found the historical part of it interesting although much of it was fictional in order to fill in the "holes" of the life of the Boleyn girls. It was well written and worth reading!

Wonderful piece of historical fiction!

I simply couldn't put this book down! Just read one bit at the bookstore and I promise you won't be disappointed!
It is well written, creative, and NEVER a dull moment in the life of the court! I loved how the author revived the Boleyn family and created such wonderful characters that you want to see succeed in life! You want to meet them, spend the day with them, and help them! It was just a lovely book and I can't wait to read more of her novels!!!
