"A very interesting and well written book. Excellent research of historical facts intertwined with an exciting
story line results in a satisfying read. It incorporates a natural feeling of the times and politics during the reign of the Infamous Henry the eighth."
"I LOVED this book. This is what The Other Boleyn Girl (called TOBG for the rest of this post) should have been - if it had been written with any semblance of historical reality.
It's no secret that I am fascinated by Anne Boleyn, and can't read enough about her. But until now, Mary Boleyn has always bored me to tears. The English Mare who seems brainless and naive, I could have cared less about her story. And when I read TOBG, I ended up hating her even more just because Philippa Gregory painted her in this innocent light and emerged her as the perfect Boleyn.
But then I decided to give this book a chance, and it did what no other book has ever been able to do - it made me sympathize with Mary. Not even just sympathize, I now totally admire her. I loved the sexual tension between her and William Stafford, and ached for her when her husband, Will Carey, made his distaste for her clear. I loved the relationship between her and Anne; and I loved the scene with Anne handing Mary jewels and other trinkets to pass down to Elizabeth someday, and asking her to set Elizabeth straight with the inevitable rumors that would surround Anne. (I don't know if this scene has any historical merit to it, but I loved it nonetheless.)
I sped straight through this book, hardly wanting to put it down. My only complaint would be that it covered something like 20 years, so several years might pass between chapters, and you had to hear about major events as an afterthought. But it was extremely well-written and I highly, HIGHLY enjoyed it."
"This book is great! I absolutely love that it is from the point of view of Mary Boleyn. This book made me fall in love with Mary Boleyn. It helps you realize her trials and tribulations with her family. She is a forgotten person in history, but without her there may have been no Anne Boleyn. Love this book!"
"I'll start by noting that, at the end of the book, Mary was not, in fact, the last Boleyn. Her parents were still alive. It would have been nice if there had been an epilogue or two, explaining the causes of their deaths, and a bit about Mary's reaction. I enjoyed this book, but there were facts that did not line up with previous books that I've read. One would think that basic facts would be easy enough to verify, even though the events were a long time ago."
