I'm enjoying it, too. And I agree with the Tudors school of history comparison. But, yes, The Tudors is fun!

I recently watched Alice in Wonderland, Inception, and Shutter Island. Was thoroughly disappointed in Alice...Burton could have done so much better ! I didn't even think Wonderland looked anything like Wonderland. Inception was great! It actually kind of reminded me of Shutter Island in the sense th...

Today I'm finishing up THE RED QUEEN. I really, really disliked THE OTHER QUEEN...but thought THE WHITE QUEEN was one of PG's best (I haven't read them all but I've read all the Tudor court novels other than THE QUEEN'S FOOL). I know a lot of you cringed at the Melusina aspect, but I didn't mind it,...

It's such a meaty read--you really have to pay attention to all the details lest you miss something s...

You're absolutely entitled to your opinion! Goodness, I hope my reply did not insinuate that you shouldn't have your own opinion -- what would be the point of a forum without conflicting opinions?! ;)

I, too, will definitely be picking up this book as soon as it comes out! I'm so excited!! :)

[quote=""SonjaMarie""]Oh much better. Is that supposed to be Catherine on the cover? If so, she's much prettier then I've heard that Catherine was. Guess you can't exactly publish it with a less then beautiful woman on the cover. As for the cover, it's good, but doesn't wow me, it's a very dark cove...
