Download The Lady in the Tower: The Wives of Henry VIII Audiobook

" 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. "

" Accurate historical fiction! This woman writes with clarity and understanding of the subject she is writing about and manages to mingle fictional stories with historical facts in a way that Phillipa Gregory does not! READ HER BOOKS! "

" 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. "

" It was good but she has better books. Didn't like the first person narrative that much. "

" A historical fiction account of Anne Boleyn who married King Henry VII and eventually imprisoned in the Tower of LOndon and eventually beheaded. "

" The Other Boleyn Girl was far better written and more entertaining. "

" 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! "

" second time reading this book....but love the Tudor era "

" 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. "

" Enjoyed the read - however was easily distracted comparing character personalities with The Other Boleyn Girl. "

" i thought it was slow "

" Anne Boleyn's side of the story. It was a good read. "

" this was just ok....I was not that impressed with the way it was written.... "

" this book was more difficult for me to get through than her others - it really seemed to drag on. "

" Well thought out novel of Anne Boleyn, great attention to historical details. "

" Listened to this audio book while on vacation recently. "

" Definitely not as good as books by Philippa Gregory, but still a decent read. I liked the perspective Jean Plaidy took on Anne Boleyn's life, and I espeically liked reading of Anne's early life. "

" One of the best examples of historical fiction. All the drama and tragedy that is Anne Boleyn told in the first-person. Unique and wonderful. "

" I loved this book. It followed history very well while adding some great fictional stories. I am very interested in this subject, Henry the 8th and his wives. I read a lot of books about this stuff. "

" Really long. Good information but really repetative. "

" I love Jean Plaidy. Her books are absolute page-turners and I've learned so much history form her. "

" 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. "

" i thought it was slow "

" Not the best - not the worst. It was difficult for me to get past the typos. "

" Annoyingly repetitive. Mostly boring. "

" It was pretty good. I think I like Philipa Gregory's style of writing better but this kept me interested. "

" Listened to this audio book while on vacation recently. "

" Actually, I only got to page 199 and stopped. It became a bit too predictable and a little boring. "

" 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. "
