Book Reviews of The Other Boleyn Girl
Book Review: sheer brilliance
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is an unbelievable! Telling of the competition between the two Boleyn girls, Anne and Mary. This book contained such intense detail and wonderful imagery I couldn't put it down! It is a fairy-tale in setting and a detestation battle, involving one of the more powerful families in Tudor England. The character profiles were perfect: I was completely able to imagine Mary, Henry, William and Anne sitting by my side. As an avid fan of historical fiction, Philippa Gregory captivated my mind. I continue to turn to the book and re-read passages. The fabulous literary style that Gregory drew into this book is unequaled and unmatched. Very few books I have read can rival this fabulous account of adoration, emotions, animosity, deception and enjoyment. Highly recommend!!! I would also like to recommend reading K. G. Glaub's wonderful new novel - Circe's Song - sheer brilliance!!!
