    I really enjoyed this book. I found the list of characters at the beginning very useful. And readable!!

    Beautifully written, thoroughly researched and . . . average. Perhaps it's because the subject matter is not my preferred type of read. There's no doubting HM is a masterful novelist, but I found Wolf Hall's 600+ pages could have been 400, and this one could have lost 50. Thomas Cromwell, the narrator, was well crafted and the story interesting enough to hold my attention; with its scheming, intrigue and duplicitousness. I liked the portrayal of Henry - larger-than-life, strong, tyrannical, yet putty (initially) in the hands of women. I will feel cheated if it wins.

    Yes I too enjoyed this book and thought the writing style helped capture the mood of the moment and was readable. It would also stand being read again more slowly.

    Just fabulous! I loved Wolf Hall and think this is even better. Such confidence, such imagination, such wit, such Chutzpah! Hilary Mantel has recreated the historical novel, Philippa Gregory, eat your heart out!
