The Other Boleyn Girl


This was an interesting historical fiction that I just can't like. I love to read books that follow actual events really closely, but this book was too trashy. I wouldn't suggest it. If you want to know the history of Anne Boleyn, go to wikipedia. I think I read crude terms in this that I never even heard in high school, but as always, once I start a book, I can't put it down. I'm the kind of person who makes these charactors into real people in my head, like Harry Potter where I was depressed for days when Fred was killed. Why would any one actaully become horribly sad at the death of a fictional charactor? Secretly I'm still depressed. I'm the biggest HP freak ever, okay maybe not, and I've only been able to bring myself to read the Deathly Hallows once. I was there at midnight getting my copy and I went home and read it in 10 hours. I had told my husband months before that he and the kids were banished from the house that day and his work just happened to have a camp out in the South Hills that very night. So I loaded up on soda, and a quart of Rocky Road and settled into my nest(bed) for the whole night. I was so excited to read it that I never got tired once, I was horribly sick the whole time as I was like 6 months pregnant at the time, but not tired.
