" I enjoyed this, but I didn't love it as much as I'd hoped. I never truly connected with this Anne; she tells you what she's like and how she feels, but you don't get to see it. However, this is written as a death row confessional, so it makes sense that Anne would tell her story that way. Still very enjoyable, and I'd definitely recommend it. 3.5 stars. "

" I enjoy historical fiction, and that's why I picked up this book. It paints Anne in a more sympathetic light than many other works focusing on her but didn't offer any new information or insights as to her possible character. "

" I really enjoyed Jean Plaidy's style of writing. This book was very easy to understand and made it that much more enjoyable. I like how Plaidy constructed it from Anne Boleyn's perspective and made the reader relate to Anne in a personal way. I'm actually planning to read more of her books now... "

" This book was just ok. It was INCREDIBLY repetitive. While I enjoyed getting the historical infomation, the book did not pick up until the last 20 pages or so. I was in awe of how many times the same passages were repeated nearly word for word! "

" I think what I enjoyed most is the fact Anne isn't the conniving manipulative woman who stole the King's desire if not his heart. Women were mostly powerless and she was a pawn as much as she tried not to be. You see the evil of King Henry VIII and how he had little regard for those around him. "

" By far my favorite of all the Anne novels I've read. Refreshing first-person perspective and lacks the harsh typecasting typical of the genre. Highly recommend.

" This is one of my oldest non-kid-lit books; given to me by my grandmother - or at least loaned to me by her, and I kept it. This book is what got me interested in Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII, and Tudor history.This is my first reread in a long time; I find it holds up well.
