Book Reviews of The Virgin's Lover (Boleyn)
Book Review: Made me read other Philippa Gregory
Summary: 4 Stars
Once I read this book (about 1 year ago) I rushed out and picked up all of her books. However, this book is in between on the must read list of hers. When I decided to write a review I was thinking this book was just ok...but then I realized this is THE BOOK that turned me onto Philippa Gregory! I've since read 10 other of her books and this one falls in between. Thus if you have read Meridon, this book is much better...but compared to THe Other Boleyn Girl...this book is not nearly half as good!Book Review: Great Read!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have read several of Philippa Gregory's books and this is one of my favorites (the first one being The Other Boleyn Girl). It continues with the same themes of love and greed that appears in the other books but they are presented from the perspective of a man. Which make is quite interesting because all her books are usually written from a females perspective.
Book Review: smitten with Philippa Gregory
Summary: 4 Stars
I am absolutely addicted to Philippa Gregory's books, and this is a great one. I just discovered her about two months ago, and I am devouring her books because they are not only good reading, but she includes so much history that I really feel it's valuable reading. This book paints an even more vivid picture of Elizabeth. I couldn't put it down!Book Review: Loved it!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have read all of the books by Gregory based on the Tudor Dynasty and this would be one of my favourites. TOBG and The Constant Princess are my other two favourites. This author I find is very good at developing romantic stories that are highly addictive and engaging.Book Review: An enjoyable read of historical fiction
Summary: 4 Stars
This was my first Philippa Gregory book. It was a very enjoyable read, and I especially liked how she integrated historical events into the narrative. If you enjoy Elizabethan era history and movies like "Shakespeare in Love" you will enjoy this book.
