wolf hall

yep...its still sat on my book shelf, im interested in the topic but its just too long!! its like readinf Tolstoy!

[MegBusset]

Oh it's not THAT long - took me about three weeks iirc. It's a fab book and just steams along so you must read it.

[freelancescientist]

Loved it - but think it is a marmite book! It really isn't that long if you get into it, and very rewarding.

[AccioPinotGrigio]

It definitely seems to polarise opinion. I loved, loved, loved it but dh just couldn't get to grips with the style in which it was written - he was never clear who was 'speaking' IYKWIM.

[ConstantlyCooking]

Loved it. Altho' after reading Sansome as well I felt a bit Tudor'ed out!

[KurriKurri]

I loved it, my advice is to try to read it in big chunks so you really get into the story ad whats happening. if you only read a bit at a time, its easy to lose the thread.

[IreadthereforeIam]

Read it!! I loved it, and it didn't take me long to read (under a week!).

[AliceAirhead]

Loved it too. Mantell creates very convincing character in Cromwell. Needs a bit of work to remember who's who and what's what, but definitely worth it.

[swanriver]

Loved it too.

[kreecherlivesupstairs]

Both me and DH tried to read it. I never got past about 25 pages, he managed half the book then gave up.
We somehow ended up with three copies.

[TheRainInSpain]

I'm reading this at the moment and really enjoying it, worth persevering with I think.

[menopausemum]

This is one of the best books I'e every read, I relaxed into it like the best comfy chair and just loved it. Its incredibly well written and extremely satisfying. I went on to buy a lot of her other books hoping for something similar but none of them live up to it.

[overthemill]

took me about 10 days and i loved it, hated it, loved it! I think it was too long and I would have liked a bit more about what happens next but, of course, she's writing the sequel now!

[Abcinthia]

It took me about a week to read but I didn't really enjoy it. Some parts of it, where amazing and gripping but then other parts just bored me completely.
