Editorial Review (from Amazon.com)
Two sisters competing for the greatest prize: the love of a king When Mary Boleyn comes to court as an innocent girl of fourteen, she catches the eye of Henry VIII. Dazzled by the king, Mary falls in love with both her golden prince and her growing role as unofficial queen. However, she soon realizes just how much she is a pawn in her family's ambitious plots as the king's interest begins to wane and she is forced to step aside for her best friend and rival: her sister, Anne. Then Mary knows that she must defy her family and her king, and take her fate into her own hands.A rich and compelling tale of love, sex, ambition, and intrigue, The Other Boleyn Girl introduces a woman of extraordinary determination and desire who lived at the heart of the most exciting and glamorous court in Europe and survived by following her own heart.

hobag thinks this book is Excellent.
I am now armed with the knowledge to become a power-tripping whore. Excellent book.
Krystal thinks this book is Excellent.
I absolutely loved this book! I had picked it up at a book sale at our local library without knowing much about it. I plan on reading more by Philippa Gregory and I enjoyed reading historical information mixed with an interesting plot line. The only thing is that if you plan on watching the movie after reading, as I did, try not to become angry by the dissimilarities. I hated the changes they made to the movie! However, reading after watching the film will make it that much better!
