Kell Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 Funny how the first one we read often remains our favourite - I read The Other Boleyn Girl first & nothing else by Gregory has topped that yet for me - LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easy Reader Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I would say this is one of my favourite Greogory books although its one of those books that I really enjoy but don't really have much to say about afterwards. I did wonder where it was going at the very beginning as it seemed quite dark but felt it really picked up the pace about a third of the way through and stayed like that until the end.
