At the rate I’m going, it’s going to take me months to finish this one!

I really want to read this. I own it, but I haven’t had a chance to read it yet.

This is a great review. I have this on my shelf and I need to get to it, but I think that I’ll wait until I get through a couple of other thick books, then read a certain amount per day, with something else on the side.

I haven’t read this book, but I have heard from others that it is hard to get into. I think I would like it though because I do like reading about Henry VIII and his court (and wives).

I’ve been thinking that anything really heavy (literally and figuratively) is probably best read from the actual book. But I can’t put why into words either!

Great review format! I think I like reading points
I will jeep all this in mind and get Wolf Hall! I sure want to read it someday! And I am interested in Tudor History!

A Very Happy New Year!!

Great review/thoughts Jennifer! I started it and am about halfway through, but had to put it down too, because just like you if I can’t concentrate, then there is no point reading it. It’s really good though and I never thought I could like Cromwell. I guess never say never right?!

I haven’t read this one yet but it is on my list. I appreciate your honest review and candor about who may or may not enjoy this book. I do have a decent grasp on this time period but probably not the hours it would take to read this as carefully as it needs to be read. I’m thinking this one will wait for a time in the future when I am a bit more focused and not so scattered!
