Book Reviews of The Boleyn Inheritance
Book Review: Another Great Book by Philippa
Summary: 4 Stars
The Boleyn Inheritance was the continuation of The Other Boleyn Girl. I like the TOBG, and so this book was a great add-on to that story. I enjoy reading about that time period and Philippa Gregory is by far my favorite author to read. So, I definately reccommend this book..but if you want the full effect and haven't read The Other Boleyn Girl..i reccommend buying them both!Book Review: Great series
Summary: 4 Stars
The Boleyn Inheritance was an excellent read. This book was one of my favorites in the series. It is written in a narrative-type format by 3 different women. This format kept me very interested. It made the differences and similarities between the 3 women really stand out because you could view events from 3 different sets of eyes. Book Review: a good read
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the second book I have read by Philippa Gregory. When I finished the first book, The Other Boleyn..., I immediately went to Amazon and purchased this book. Although it is basically fiction, the way Gregory intertwines fact, when the courts moved about England, and fiction, any dialog, is wonderful. If you have any interest in the wives of Henry VIII, I highly recommend this book, and possibly any other she writes! Book Review: Loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars
What more can one say? Great historical information. Felt like I was really there. Wow, being royalty in those days wasn't exactly an advantage!Book Review: ...No Fury Like a Woman Beheaded

It's almost as dead Anne Boleyn curses Henry to perceive his marital lot as intolerable, no matter who he was married to. He really was a churlish cur; and, in this version of the tale, he's not even attractive anymore. However, if you liked The Other Boleyn Girl, you'll really enjoy this extension on the story of courtly intrigue and the scheming necessary for survival. You can't blame the chaste Anne of Cleaves for being a pushover, or Jane Boleyn for being a twit, or Katherine for being a silly simp. They were just being the women they were -- the intrigue lies in how that interacts with Henry's reprehensible personality.
Gregory conveys all the glamour and pageantry of courtly life in a way that makes you feel you've studied the era -- plus you get all the juicy gossip and scandal. Not as sexy as The Other Boleyn Girl, but definitely worth reading.
