“I'm about 160 pages in and the only reason I put it down was because you have to sleep sooner or later. This is the first of Gregory's books that I have read. I saw the film, "The Other Boleyn Sister" and instantly became intrigued in this subject matter. I wish that is was not fiction, however, any nonfiction books that I have picked up on the subject read like a school textbook and are zzzzzzzz Again I have not read any of her other books, but I'm shocked that others have found it boring. I think the style she utilizes...each perspective for a few pages and then changes subjects...it's like little mini cliffhangers every few pages. So far, I love it.”
“Did not like this as much as Other Boleyn Girl... Thought it portrayed the women as somewhat weak and unintelligent.... ”
“Thorough enjoyed this book and thought it was as good as The Other Boleyn Sister. It is because of this series of books that I can now remember the names of all Henry VIII's wives and what happened to them - wish we'd read these books at school! Well written, intruiging and fascinating.”
“I heard this was a great book. I have ready Gregory's "The Other Boleyn Girl" and "The Virgin's Lover" they were both awesome! I'll read this as part of an online club :~) ”
“I'm about 110 pages into this book and finding it horribly boring, does it get better? (have loved other Gregory books, by the way, so this is a first for me.) ”
“LOVED IT!”
“I liked it”
