Book Reviews of The Six Wives of Henry VIII

Book Review: Intriguing, fantastic, can't-put-it-down reading!
Summary: 5 Stars

Okay, I almost hate to admit that I've read this book through several times, but this is only because some people might find this kind of reading too scholarly. Having said that, I LOVE this book. These women are all incredibly fascinating, and Weir takes these historical figures and shows us that they were real women with pride, feelings, motives, and faults. I wouldn't have ever guessed that I could enjoy a historical biography to this extent, but here I am recommending this (and Weir's other works) HIGHLY. I've read several of her other books (see her work under the last name of Plowden, also), and have been pulled in just as strongly with each book. One of her other books about Lady Jane Grey is phenomenal, and I'm currently reading through her work on Elizabeth I.

You won't regret picking this one up, and I doubt you'll be able to put it down. Pick a rainy weekend when you not only want to be entertained but would like to learn something in the process, and you won't be disappointed!!!
