 The Best!!! July 24, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is by far, the best book in the series. It had me hooked and I read every other book by Phillipa Gregory simply because this one is so good. I found the rest were not as good as this, but were wonderful too. This is simply not to be competed with.
very entertaining July 21, 2008

Of course this isn't historically accurate... its "Historica FICTION". The purpose of it is to be entertaining based on events... and that it is!
 I had to stop reading this trite . . . July 21, 2008

Terrible book. The inaccuracies of the book that other reviewers point out don't bother me so much. It is fiction. I am bothered by how the author writes and I felt zero interest in any of the characters. I read about 225 pages and had to stop. I just felt myself getting stupid with every page.
Wonderful Author July 21, 2008

This was a fabulous book that I could not put down and when I finished it, I immediately went looking for more of her books!
Shouldn't history be somewhat correct? July 19, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
I only have to say this, historical facts can be correct, and still have good or even better fiction. Anya Seton proved that, with Katherine. Fact it seems, as in Elizabeth 1, if studied, is far far more interesting than any fiction made to soup up a book or even film. Philipa Gregory blurs truth and makes it sad, for I rate the book as well as the movie next to nothing.
