"I really enjoyed this history on Henry VIII, which went into detail about the machinations of his court and, of course, his marriages and his relationship with the Catholic Church. I had only a rudimentary understanding of Henry before reading this: the kind of things most people know -- the number of wives, his creation of the Church of England, but didn't really know why he acted the way that he did. Alison Weir's book really delved into the various political issues underlying everything else."
"I love this book,and I find it a very easy read. Weir has a way of making the story of Henry VIII and his court come alive for her readers . Weir also have a knack for finding little known facts that most historian only skip over. Like the fact that prior to Anne Boleyn trial for treason, In April it was announce that Anne was pregnant. In May she was arrested,and she was beheaded on May 19. Weir ask the question, uh, what become of the pregnancy?"
"This comprehensive biography of Henry VIII was so much fun to read. Weir has a real knack for making historical figures come to life, and making true events read like the events of a novel. And Henry VIII is a person whose very life seems fictitious: especially in regards to his six wives, the beheading of two of them, and his unstable temperament in later life. Through extensive research, however, Weir gives us a fuller picture of Henry VIII, and the period in which he ruled. Very, very interesting, and highly recommended."
