a_vro_ 's review for:
The Other Boleyn Girl
by Philippa Gregory
I am surprised I liked this book as much as I did. Namely, I really like historical fiction, but usually I don't get too into this time period. This book is clearly fiction, but is based upon true historical events. I wish there was a little more clarification on the fabrications or more on the actual history in the author's notes, but anything I wanted to know, I was able to easily look up online. My only real complaint is that the timing was a bit odd. Sometimes a summer would be pages and pages, while other times, seasons were skipped all together. This made reading a little awkward at times (ex. "why is it Christmas already, it was just Christmas 8 pages ago"). Otherwise it is a well known tale that was written well.
