Book 16: The Other Boleyn Girl
I am starting 'The Other Boleyn Girl' by Philippa Gregory today. I know that several of my friends have read this book and really liked it. I was over at a friend's house for Thanksgiving and asked to borrow a book. She told me to try this one. She is a huge Henry VIII fan and said this was a really interesting story. several people have also said that Gregory is a great story teller. I hope I like it as much as every one else does.

I'm so excited that you are reading this book now. I really loved it and I can't wait to get through my books here at home because I think another Gregory book will be my first choice when I head back to the library.
ReplyDeleteI stayed up until 1:30 finishing this book. I thought the whole book was great, but the last 150 pages were so action packed that I couldn't put it done. It's so funny to me that I hated history in high school and thought it was so boring. Now I love reading historically related books. Maybe not knowing the full story keeps me so interested in these books.
ReplyDeleteI am glad I did not live during this era. The treatment of the women and children made me so mad. I cannot imagine living like that.
I found Gregory to be a great story teller and I look forward to reading another book by her.
Wasn't it great!! And, I'm with you, I wish I could take history classes again and see if I find it more interesting b/c I love historical fiction. But, then I think maybe History teachers need to take a different approach to teaching. Anyway, I can't wait to read more of her books. I might even break my read from the book shelf streak to go pick up another of her books.
