Review - I didn't think the characters came across as well on paper as they did on the screen. Anne Boleyn, in particular, was dry on paper, but so much more vivid on screen. This was a letdown for me. I was expecting so much more of this book than a mere transcription almost of the television series. I was hoping for better description. However, if I didn't know the TV series so well, no doubt it would have been more interesting, but for anyone who's watched the TV series I wouldn't recommend it.
