I have just finished Wolf Hall, and I loved it! I hope there is a follow up soon as it is one of my best reads this year! On finishing the book, I just wanted to know what happened to Thomas Cromwell next!
However I have to agree with the use of 'He' as detailed in Readwine's review.
I noticed it early on, and decided if I just stick to the rule 'the 'He' in question is always Thomas Cromwell' I was able to filter it out, and enjoy the novel. I then noticed that later in the book Mantel started to say 'He, Cromwell,...' instead.
However this did not spoil my enjoyment of the book, and I also think 6/10 is way too low!
So I'm giving Wolf Hall 9/10!
