Editorial Reviews:
Two sisters competing for the greatest prize: the love of a king

When Mary Boleyn comes to court as an innocent girl of fourteen, she catches the eye of Henry VIII. Dazzled by the king, Mary falls in love with both her golden prince and her growing role as unofficial queen. However, she soon realizes just how much she is a pawn in her familys ambitious plots as the kings interest begins to wane and she is forced to step aside for her best friend and rival: her sister, Anne. Then Mary knows that she must defy her family and her king, and take her fate into her own hands.

A rich and compelling tale of love, sex, ambition, and intrigue, The Other Boleyn Girl introduces a woman of extraordinary determination and desire who lived at the heart of the most exciting and glamorous court in Europe and survived by following her own heart.

Summary: Enjoyed the book, much better than the movie
Comment: 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.

Summary: Wonderful Story
Comment: I really liked this book. I found myself swept away in the moments. It was quick-paced and dramatic. With a long book like this, I usually find myself getting bored with the characters and I begin anticipating a quick wrap up. But, I found myself covering the bottom on the pages so I wouldn't skip to the bottom to find out quickly what had happened... I was savoring the drama. I just purchased my next book by the same author and I hope I get the same results.

Summary: The Other Boleyn Girl
Comment: Having Studied History in College and recently watched the film of "The Other Boleyn Girl", i was very impressed with the book and found it hard to put it down, it had very vivid images and one could almost imagine themselves in each scene looking on as the story unfolded. Very enjoyable read and gave a great insight into the the Boleyn's as a family.
