4.0 out of 5 starsExcellent Novel Though Not Accurate
By Bibiana on November 23, 2016
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
If you are looking for a fascinating, intriguing story this is the book for you. However, if you are a Tudor fan who insists on accuracy, you may not like this book. "The Other Boleyn Girl" is narrated by Mary Boleyn, the sister of the famous Anne. The two girls, one sweet and blonde and the other dark and ruthless, are used as pawns by their family to gain favor with the king-and thus gain prestige and wealth for the Boleyns. Mary, who is married, is forced to leave her husband when her family pushes her into King Henry's bed. She becomes the king's mistress, but truly loves him. Later in the story Anne ruthlessly destroys the life of the gracious, pious Queen Catherine in order to gain the throne-and uses witchcraft, poison, and incest to further her aims. Ms Gregory uses actual dates and happenings to build her story, and fills them in with speculation and fictitious events. This is not a book for you if you are a stickler for facts-but it is a fast-paced, gripping novel that makes the reader want to keep going to see what's next. I especially liked the book's glimpse into the Tudor court. Most people today have no idea of what it means to have your entire life revolve around the whim of someone who could either make you very fortunate-or put you to death. Courtiers were not just beautiful people who lounged around all day. They had to accompany the ruler EVERYWHERE, even if that meant dinners that went on past midnight, and then getting up for Mass or hunting at dawn. They had to gauge the king's every mood and adjust accordingly. A great job? I will leave that up to the reader.

1.0 out of 5 starsGregory is no fan of Anne...
By Feeding Stars to Cats on June 5, 2012
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I'm going to be upfront with readers of this review, I am not a very smart girl. So many of you giving negative reviews really know your Tudors' History. Everything I know about the Tudors stems from *cringe* the television show (love it), Wikipedia, and various other websites around the internet.

But even I, with my very limited knowledge of Tudors History, was seriously annoyed with the mistakes in the book - especially when you consider how self serving they were to the picture perfect main character. I have never seen ANY historian claim (even on Wiki dang it!) that Mary was the younger of the sisters. If I remember right she was actually likely the eldest of the living Boelyn children. This makes sense considering that Mary was the first presented at court and the first married. As another reviewer said her being the youngest adds nothing to the storyline so why not just get it right? I think PG was trying to make Mary as innocent as possible and being just a young teenager made her more likeable to the reader perhaps. However pretty much everything I've read about Mary agrees on the fact that she had some miles on her (classy terminology FTW) when she arrived to the English court. I think the fact that she married someone who was generally deemed below Boelyn level is proof that this is true. It's pointed out how great the Boelyn/ Howard family a million times in this book and someone as pretty as Mary was said to be would have probably fetched a husband from an even better family...unless she had a bad reputation.

In PG's mind sisters are apparently polar opposites. Since Mary is blonde, sweet, and shy, Anne is dark, vile, and loud. I have to say this author really does not seem to like Miss Anne Boelyn very much.Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 starsA good read, but way too long
By cctyger on December 17, 2016
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
The only reason I gave this book 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the length. It is a very long novel and I truly believe the same effect could have been achieved with less writing. It got boring in places where I felt like just skimming through a few pages and then picking it up later on in the next chapter. We read this as part of a local book club "assignment" and several of our members did not even make it through the entire book. I will say that it is pretty true to the historical time period and that makes it interesting to anyone who has a passion for historical fiction/fact.

5.0 out of 5 starsIntruiging read! An absolute must for Tudor lovers.
By Free-Bird Reviews on July 31, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I’m going to do this review as I would for anyone that knows about The Tudor history. There will only be spoilers if you do not know about the history of the Tudors at all.

SO!! This one is one that had me by my heart strings… I was pulled in so many different directions! I even sat and contemplated how to do a review because there was just so much in this.

Firstly, the only negative that I have. This is quite a long book. For someone that has learned a great deal about The Tudors some of the passages seemed a bit tedious. For someone new to the story and to their grand way of life however, I think every word is probably needed! For me though, it was just a tad on the long side.

Now to the positives! First, Philippa Gregory’s writing. Once again she dazzles with words in a way that few other authors can do. She has brought this court life alive and I can easily see and feel what she is talking about.

I also really enjoyed that this wasn’t about all of the Tudors but mainly about Mary. As the narrator of the story we only know what Mary knows and what she feels. This leaves a lot open for interpretation when it comes to Anne and the rest of her family but we know exactly how Mary feels and I just loved that.

I was surprised at just how conniving Anne really was. I mean at every point in her life she is working to better herself and her family but it was herself first and foremost. She is greedy and dishonest and it really showed. But still I feel for her even as I judge her. She went to high and could not see what she was doing to herself before it was way too late.
In short: I think Philippa Gregory yet again wrote a masterpiece filled with charms and poison. It’s a fabulous yet such a sad read.

4.5/5
