Very readable and enjoyable. ( )

Anne Boleyn's seduction of King Henry led to a highly ambitious, deliberate and ultimately doomed effort to become the next queen. Lots of implied sex: marital, premarital and on the side. King Henry sure got around and no one minded. Jacket copy would make good booktalk.

Anne Boleyn has not title, no money, and no power, but she is smart and beautiful. She uses her charm to catch the eye of one of the most powerful men of her time: Henry VIII, King of England. Using her cunning and ambition she alters the course of a nation, but her ambition quickly becomes her downfall. ( )

Interesting YA version of Anne Boleyn's story. ( )

I have an obsession with Anne Boleyn. She is my favorite historical figure. She was a complex, vivacious woman who captivated Henry VIII and was instrumental in bringing about the protestant reformation ion England. For some reason if I see a book with her name in the title I think I have to buy it and read it.

This one sat on my shelf for awhile and it seemed like a quick read on a day I was tired. While it was ok, it was not good. While I know that historical fiction takes liberties with accuracy, still, I think this book was filled with too many misrepresentations.

Not recommended. ( )
