A review by trudy1963
The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory

5.0

At about half way through this book I was only planning on giving it 3-4 stars because the way they treated women (and the way the women took the treatment) was so irritating that I couldn't like any of the characters. I know it was historically correct but it was still annoying. Then Mary came to her senses (as much as she could for her time period) and I found myself interested in her story. This is the first book I've read by Philippa Gregory and I was amazed at how quickly she hooked me into reading this book. Even while irritated during the first half I loved her writing style and her ability to bring this story to life.
