Ahead of its time, and basis for a lot of things we can see now (0 more)

Eye opening classic

This book is light years ahead of its time and whilst it’s written in a traditional style for the forties it hits on key issues. The censorship and the control that it describes is not so far fetched yet abhorrent to the reader - and thus sucks you straight in

Deborah (162 KP) rated The Boleyn King (Boleyn Trilogy, #1) in Books

An historical entertainment more than a traditional historical novel, this imagines that Anne Boleyn had a son, ergo she wasn't discarded and her son became king on the decease of Henry VIII. Potentially I thought this might be very, very bad, but actually it was pretty well written and entertaining, A few odd Americanisms in there ("visit with" etc.), but overall better than I expected.
