Fabulous historical novel set in the court of King Henry VIII. Mary Boleyn attracts the attention of the young king and becomes his mistress; when he tires of her, she sets out to school her sister, Anne, as a replacement. Politics and passion are inextricably bound together in this compelling drama. The Boleyn family is keen to rise through the ranks of society, and what better way to attract the attention of the most powerful in the land than to place their most beautiful young woman at court? But Mary becomes the king's mistress at a time of change. He needs his personal pleasures, but he also needs an heir. The unthinkable happens and the course of English history is irrevocably changed. For the women at the heart of the storm, they have only one weapon; and when it's no longer enough to be the mistress, Mary must groom her younger sister in the ways of the king. What happens next is common knowledge -- but here it is told in a way we've never heard it before, with all of Philippa Gregory's characteristic perceptiveness, backed by meticulous research and superb storytelling skills.

Summary: 4+ actually; great plot and really hot
Comment: There is quite a bit of raunchy in this one. Of course you have a good sister and a bad one. Lots of unexpected "bumps" along the way. Worth reading but the movie is nothing to compare. A book is always so much better.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Book
Comment: The book was great. I watched the movie first and realize it did'nt give the book justice. I love the way the author told the entire story and how she used Mary's point of view. I have since purchased several more of Philippa Gregory's novels and enjoy every one of them.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A Very Interesting Affair.
Comment: The Other Boleyn Girl is a very interesting book, that is also very fun to read. Being only 14, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and would compare it to Gossip Girl #1: A Novel (Gossip Girl Series) but in medieval times. A great book, must read.
Customer Rating:
Summary: wonderfully written.
Comment: by the time i got past ch 1 i felt like i was in the kings court. Im now beginning my next book by Phillippa about the Bolynes and the English court.
Customer Rating:
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.
