Book Reviews of The Wise Woman: A Novel
Book Review: As intoxicating as it is vulgar
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is not only intoxicating and bewitching but also vulgar and even nauseating. The book is extremely dark. Its hard to put down this book because you constantly want to know what happens next. Its easy to forget that the main character is a 16 year old child. The sexual scenes are hard and dark and leave you with a lump in your throat. The authors writing is beautiful. Her descriptions are vivid. Its a wonderful book that draws you into its spell and leaves you in awe.This story has no soft egdes, as much as you don't want to leave this story, you also feel glad when its done. Read it, experience it, be bewitched by it. I definantly recommend this story to the not faint at heart and those who like a story with teeth.Book Review: The usual wonderfully written Gregory
Summary: 4 Stars
Although by the end of the book I hated Alys, the main character, it was still the usual good writing. Gregory has a way of building a character so you think you personally know them. The ending was unexpected and not too pleasant. It took courage for Gregory to do that - give the main character what she deserved instead of sugar coating.Book Review: What you expect from Philippa Gregory
Summary: 4 Stars
I couldn't put this book down. I know it's one of her first books, but it's the reason why I started reading this author. I wish she would go back to this type of writing. The story was very good and held your attention. If you are a true Gregory fan, you want to read this book!Book Review: great read!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I loved this book.....Philippa Gregory is one of my favorite authors, I admit. But, she has the ability to get me so engrossed in her books that I get very sad when they end!! If you like books about witchcraft and love, honor, deceit, this book is for you.Book Review: A Very Good Book
Summary: 4 Stars
As with all books I've Read from Philippa Gregory, I was impressed and entertained. I really enjoyed reading this book, although it was not my ultimate favorite of her novels
