I am not proud to say that for the last five years I had bearly the time to read a book. But this changed everything! I started by reading the Boleyn Inheritance and was hooked from their. I then went on to reading everything by Philippa Gregory. This book is well written and the plot is fantastic it really will keep you up to the wee hours. The book although based on historical events is not completely factual so those looking for complete accuracy need to keep in mind that it is "historical fiction". A good buy no regrets.

Read this book! I can't stress this enough. This book is excellent. It is wonderfully written and a true joy to read. When I picked up this book I knew very little about this period of history and this book intrested me so much that I study this period as a hobby. The book is very close to the correct history of the time and because it is a true story is fasinates you even more. Even though most of us know the tragic ending of the book, Philippa Gregory is such a excellent writer that you are held in suspence throughout the book wishing she could go back and change the events of the past. The Other Boleyn Girl is an educational read but it is also incrediably intresting and easy to read.
