 Great Book November 24, 2008

The book was great. I watched the movie first and realize it did'nt give the book justice. I love the way the author told the entire story and how she used Mary's point of view. I have since purchased several more of Philippa Gregory's novels and enjoy every one of them.

The Other Boleyn Girl is a very interesting book, that is also very fun to read. Being only 14, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and would compare it to Gossip Girl #1: A Novel (Gossip Girl Series) but in medieval times. A great book, must read.

If you've seen the movie and were disappointed, don't neglect the book for that reason! This book is a great example of its genre and is historical fiction at its best. The movie was almost embarassingly bad and was no credit to this book.

Enjoyed the book. Easy to read. Read this book even if you have seen the movie. Gives you more details and makes you understand the time in history better. I highly recommend this book for leisure reading.
