Default The Other Boleyn Girl

I loved this book but the film was just awful, I'm not sure the person who wrote the screenplay had actually EVER read the book.

Don't let the crappy film put you off the book, and if you thought the film was good the book is miles better!

Anyone else read it?

I read the book first too and loved it! I'm reading The Queen's Fool at the moment.

The film was OK but strayed away from the plot of the book far too much and seemed to jump around too quickly. Was a shame really as the book was un-putdownable!

I've read the book and loved it. Haven't seen the film. Read the Boleyn Inheritance next - really good as well. Now searching charity shops for more Phillippa Gregory books - would really recommend her.

aww bugger I didn't know it was a book! Saw the film and quite liked it-more the story than the actual film iykwim. Too late now for the book as I'll constantly compare it to the film

Don't be put off. The book is more historically accurate I believe, although I'm sure some of that is dramatised for entertainment purposes!
