The Secret Diary of Anne Boleyn Audiobook

" A lovely idea that maybe our ill-fated Ann was able to be part of her famous daughters life. I really wish it were true!!! "

" So far so good. I'm about 3/4 of the way through it. I love books set in that time period if you haven't noticed. :) A friend gave me a large bag of books like this. I've almost finished the bag. There were between 10 and 15 of these type books. :) "

" Big fan of this book. I like historical books about King Henry and Anne Boleyn but some of them seem redundant. This one I really liked! "

" I liked the way this book read...Elizabeth as an adult, and reading the diary from her mother. She learns to know her mother better and understand her. Even though it's fiction, it would have been nice if this had happened. Wonderful book! "

" I read this right after, "The Other Boleyn Girl", and loved how it was basically the same story told from a different perspective. There are some differences in the 'facts' of the two stories. "

" I went looking for my copy of Wuthering Heights, and I find this, too. I totally Forgot I owned it. "

" Disappointing, to say the least. What drew me to this book was the concept ~ Queen Elizabeth I reading her late mother's diary. Sadly, though, I found this concept poorly executed. When I started reading this book, I found the narrative somewhat flat and quite cliche. "

" This book isn't that great. For some reason I can't put it down because I feel like I have invested so much time in it. I really wouldn't recommend it. "

" Anne Boleyn is one of those historical figures that I find interesting. It was a unique fictional look at a very interesting time period, and headless heroine. "

" If you know anything about histroy, this book is highly predictable. I didn't feel I got any additional insight into the characters. It was what I was expecting, regardless if it was fictionalized. "

" This is a nice book to read in close time proximity with Lady Elizabeth by Alison Weir. Maxwell's style is drier than Weir's, but she does a nice job switching voices in each chapter between important characters. "

" Historical fiction fluff. Decent but everyone and every event are full of drama. "

" Really new spin on the life off Anne Boleyn "

" Good book, but a little off the beaten path. She supposedly gives this diary to one of her maids in waiting whilst in the Tower, awaiting her execution. It is to be given to her daughter Elizabeth when she becomes of age. Good. Worth the read. "

" I read this a while ago and liked it. Very different portrayal of Anne than The Other Boleyn girl. In this book she isn't quite as ruthless and calculating. "

" I really enjoyed this book. The author does a great job infusing two different time periods (that off Anne Boleyn and her daughter the first Queen Elizabeth) into one book. It was interesting and fascinating to consider the way things would have been back then. I loved this book. "

" Interesting way to tell the story. Queen Elizabeth finds a diary written by her mother, Anne Boleyn and tells a story of not only Anne but Elizabeth too. "

" Pretty good HF read, interesting idea of Anne's diary, & who knows it is a good possibility that one actually existed. "

" Great read about Elizabeth I and her mother Anne Boleyn. Fictional but based on excelelnt research. I read it concurrently with "The Life and Death of Anne Boleyn," a the latest document-based biography of Anne. "

" This was the book that started my obsession with English historical fiction. The book is a wonderful (fictional) account of life for Anne Boleyn. Great book, highly recommend. "

" The is an extraordinary book back into the time of Queen Anne Boleyn and Queen Elizabeth. Where the rules of loyalty, trust, honor and commitment are not constant, but always changing. Where your life is decided by others and not by yourself. This is one of my many favorite books. "

" I loved this Book, an excellent portrayal of Anne Boleyn, I got a chance to see her in a totally different light to what i am used to. A book that will stay with me for a long time, my only gripe is that it wasnt long enough. "

" What would it be like if Queen Elizabeth I was given the secret diary of her mother Anne Boleyn? An interesting tale of what might have been. "

" A different look at the Tudor period. I recently finished Wolf Hall and it was great to read another perspective from the same period. "

" A fairly quick read. Although loosely based on events of the time, it still gives the reader some idea of what a woman's life (a high ranking woman) was like in the 16th century. "

" A juicy bit of historical fiction that read like a trashy novel but with a meaty, legit plot. "

" Not sure how I picked up this book but it was an interesting fictional account of a Queen who really had no choice. "

" I really enjoyed this book. It is well written and well researched. This will make you sympathize with Anne Boleyn, unlike the book, 'The Other Boleyn Sister.' "
