Title: Not the standard we have come to expect from Ms.Gregory
Product review: I could not put The Other Boleyn Girl down, it was a real page turner, history mixed with romance and intrigue, even though we knew the outcome. It was so fascinating that I went out and read everything there was to know about Henry VIII. However, Ms. Gregory seems to have run out of steam, if not subject matter. I could hardly bring myself to pick up this dreary book. Elizabeth is portrayed as weak and unlikeable,(infact there are no likeable characters in this novel), and not the queen we know her to be. The constant description of her long flowing red hair and black eyes and Dudley's smoldering good looks was unbearable. It reads like a cheap romance novel with a slice of English history thrown in for good measure. Ms. Gregory should choose herself another English monarch, I have read her three books about the Tudors, enough is enough!
