Book Reviews of The Other Boleyn Girl
Book Review: A great fictional adaptation of a fascinating story
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read quite a few books that I've really enjoyed recently, but this was one of my favorites! I don't have any issue separating and appreciating the difference between the real story (like the wonderful, "The Six Wives of Henry VIII" by Alison Weir) and the fictional adaptations like this and the movie (which are very different stories). I think it's really great when you're fascinated with an era to take on a real event that happened and try to discover what might have happened if the characters were a little different than they really were. 'What if we made it seem more possible that this happened (even if it didn't really)?' 'How would the characters react if we threw this into the mix?' 'How about if we exaggerate this character or make them more like this, just to serve this fictional story a little better?' I thought it was a great read! I particularly liked this version of Mary and her interactions with the other characters. It was terrific!
