Product Description
Two sisters competing for the greatest prize: the love of a king. A rich and compelling novel of love, sex, ambition, and intrigue, The Other Boleyn Girl introduces a woman of extraordinary determination and desire who lived at the heart of the most exciting and glamorous court in Europe and survived by following her heart.When Mary Boleyn comes to court as an innocent girl of fourteen, she catches the eye of Henry VIII. Dazzled, Mary falls in love with both her golden prince and her growing role as unofficial queen. However, she soon realizes just how much she is a pawn in her family's ambitious plots as the king's interest begins to wane and she is forced to step aside for her best friend and rival: her sister, Anne. Then Mary knows that she must defy her family and her king and take her fate into her own hands.

 Great Book
The book was great. I watched the movie first and realize it did'nt give the book justice. I love the way the author told the entire story and how she used Mary's point of view. I have since purchased several more of Philippa Gregory's novels and enjoy every one of them.

A Very Interesting Affair.
The Other Boleyn Girl is a very interesting book, that is also very fun to read. Being only 14, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and would compare it to Gossip Girl #1: A Novel (Gossip Girl Series) but in medieval times. A great book, must read.

Enjoyed the book, much better than the movie ( waterwaif )
If you've seen the movie and were disappointed, don't neglect the book for that reason! This book is a great example of its genre and is historical fiction at its best. The movie was almost embarassingly bad and was no credit to this book.

The Other Boleyn Girl
Enjoyed the book. Easy to read. Read this book even if you have seen the movie. Gives you more details and makes you understand the time in history better. I highly recommend this book for leisure reading.
