Book Reviews of The Tudors: It's Good to Be King

Book Review: You are kidding
Summary: 1 Stars

Henry VIII tore apart the Catholic Church?
Yeah Right.
In case you are unaware or uninformed the Catholic Church is still the most powerful Christian Branch and is still
doing the good work of fighting for the Faith around the World.
Also the Kings and Queens manipulated the Church not the other way around.
Hear that in your history books?
All Henry the VIII did was tear apart ENGLAND and make it a spiritual cripple for the rest of its existance... a fact
seen today in the weakness of the Anglican Church in dealing with the threat from Islam as it was weak it dealing with all other
dictators especially the Evil Empire.
I too am a Tudor/Elizabeathan history buff and it IS historically inaccurate.
It is a sex romp and that is most all.
But there are good points about this program in its portrayal of the characters of Wolsey, More and others.
But historically accutate it is not.
The old fat temper and sex driven ego maniac Harry is the real one -- sorry.

Summary of The Tudors: It's Good to Be King

The Tudors is an intimate, delicious, and daring drama revealing the early years of Henry VIII, an idealistic, lustful tyrant torn between bedding wives and mistresses and conquering Europe. This is not the story of the old, fat Henry you've read about in history books.

At eighteen, the throne and the entire world became his. Young, sexy, and the most powerful man of his time, the king was known for his good looks and athletic prowess. He was so arrogant that he despised dealing with the consequences of his actions. King Henry executed people with little excuse, and single-handedly tore apart the Roman Catholic Church, the most powerful institution in medieval Europe.

Passionate, vibrant, and scandalous, he forever altered the course of history. The Tudors, a Showtime Original Series starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers, brings to life Henry's tumultuous early years in exquisite fashion.

THE BOOK ALSO INCLUDES a foreward by Michael Hirst, creator and executive producer, eight pages of lush, full-color photos, detailed essays about the Tudor era and dynasty

Tune into The Tudors on Showtime -- Sundays at 10pm starting April 1st
