I haven't seen The Other Boleyn Girl movie, but I'd like to. Eric Bana is usually quite good =)<br /><br />Whitney - Thanks. This definitely will be a great introduction to the Plantagenets. Gregory points out in her author note that they're even more fascinating than the Tudors!<br /><br />BookQuoter - Thanks! I hope you give this book a try :)<br /><br />Nishita - This is definitely better than The Other Boleyn Girl. And I agree with you about the soap opera feel! It makes for fast reading though.<br /><br />Mrs. B - I'm exactly the opposite, lol. But I hope you enjoy this book =)<br /><br />Vaishnavi - Henry VIII was a terrible man, but definitely makes for a fascinating read! I hope you like this book :)Kalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07412141003430058757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1433800763683549690.post-71671374416581098752010-06-27T22:49:36.884+05:302010-06-27T22:49:36.884+05:30I saw this in Landmark the other day and almost pi...I saw this in Landmark the other day and almost picked it up but I ended up buying the latest two installments of the Vampire Academy series instead :-D Another awesome review, I have seen documentaries on the Boleyn girls and have some sort of fascination with the life of Henry VIII especially. What a heartless man he was! I will definifely put this on on my list :)Vaishnavihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08829055456233904866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1433800763683549690.post-40197056118208463482010-06-26T07:57:56.176+05:302010-06-26T07:57:56.176+05:30I loved The other Boleyn Girl.

Unlike the Tudors I know next to nothing of the Plantagenets, maybe this would be a better introduction.Whitneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05929468785993424955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1433800763683549690.post-11069450441189292592010-06-24T22:02:41.436+05:302010-06-24T22:02:41.436+05:30I still have yet to read one of her books, but I r...I still have yet to read one of her books, but I really enjoyed the movie of the Other Bolyn Girl.

First, I've thought about getting this book for quite awhile. Now I really want to read it. Second, I just finished reading Shakespeare's Henry VI which has the War of the Roses as one of its main themes. So, this post is very current for me.Gradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17526750467742207099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1433800763683549690.post-71439465404672657642010-06-24T19:29:57.770+05:302010-06-24T19:29:57.770+05:30Hannah - I hadn't heard of Elizabeth Woodwille...Hannah - I hadn't heard of Elizabeth Woodwille before but I was very fascinated by her in the book!<br /><br />BookswithCoffee- I'm the opposite. I felt The Other Boleyn Girl was mediocre while I liked The Boleyn Inheritance more. But if you like any of Gregory's books, I'm sure this one is worth a read.<br /><br />Juju - Thanks! :)<br /><br />Priya - Thank you so much!! :)Kalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07412141003430058757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1433800763683549690.post-18467480670032270772010-06-24T18:20:25.597+05:302010-06-24T18:20:25.597+05:30i loved this too! gorgeous review!
