aewinec 's review for:
The Other Boleyn Girl
by Philippa Gregory
This was a good book, and even though I liked it, it took me a while to get through it. I love historical fiction, and I really liked the movie based on this book. I believe that the moviemakers did a great job of distilling this lengthy book into a 2 hr movie. A reason why it may have taken me a while to get through is because I kept getting bogged down, trying to recall what was different from the movie, and in trying to reconcile this version of the story with what I've been watching on The Tudors.
P.S. If you liked this book and the movie, and are eager for more about the court of Henry VIII, start watching The Tudors. It's like The Sopranos, but 500 years ago! Lots of intrigue, assignations, and double-crossing. If you don't get Showtime, you can download the first season from iTunes.
