Negative Positive
Title: Easy and Fun
Review: I read this book as a sort of break from the 'heavier' reading I usually gravitate toward, and I found it immensely enjoyable. There is nothing particularly poetic or soul-stirring about the writing itself, but the storyline is fast-paced and intriguing; it took me less than 24 hours to get through these 600 pages.From a woman's perspective, it is truly startling to see the role that women were forced to play at this point in history; even the so-called 'fortunate' women of society were nothing more than pawns for power, or the playthings of men. Anne Boleyn is absolutely tyrannical in her own ambition, lacking any sense of inner morality, which makes her repulsive. Yet she and Mary each have the strength, in their own ways, to take charge of their own destinies.The book's conclusion definitely left me with a haunted feeling. I would certainly recommend this book to anyone looking for an interesting, quick read.
