Trailer for "The Other Boleyn Girl"
And the poster:
A very attractive trio! I have to admit that I still haven’t read the book, but I do hope to see the movie. I’m really curious to see Natalie Portman’s performance as Anne. There are a couple of shots in the trailer that are quite interesting… especially Anne in coronation robes and regalia in a pose quite similar to her daughter’s 26 years later.

Should be an interesting comparison with The Tudors….hopefully with less overacting!

you haven’t read the book? I read it. And read it again. And read it again. And read it again. It’s wonderful! I hope the movie does it justice!
Eric Bana is a Yummy Henry!

The poster looks like the cover of a Gossip Girl book. It looks alright. I’ll see it but I’m not to interested. Too much hollywood. I prefer The Tudors much more.

No, I haven’t read it (or any of her others) yet. I actually don’t read Tudor fiction that much any more, although I enjoyed Alison Weir’s “Innocent Traitor” earlier this year. I tend towards medieval historical fiction these days… probably because the historical mistakes don’t jump out at me as much since I don’t know the history quite as well (so far!).

I really enjoyed this book, and I’m looking forward to the movie. It is a good read Lara, I’d recommend it.

THE OTHER BOLEYN GIRL is worth reading (so is the sequel, which covers Anne of Cleves, Jane Rochford and Catherine Howard) but Gregory does take a lot of liberties with the Tudors, and I certainly did not agree with all her interpretations of events and characters. I enjoyed it for the most part, but had to keep reminding myself it was fiction. I liked Innocent Traitor much better, quite honestly.

The book itself is a fun read, yes, some of it is very inaccurate, but if overlook is much less silly then “The Tudors” on Showtime.
I really like the way the author portrays all of her women characters in her books, the Boleyn Inheritence (sp?) is also a very good one told from the POV’s of Jane Rochford, Anne of Cleves and Katherine Howard.
