I will. I have read it and an looking forward to it

I will, I read it, didn't like it but will still watch it. I love most things Tudor and history in general.

JeanneDeMontbaston · 09/01/2015 11:53

Ooh, yes!

I'm hoping it's good - I read she's been involved in it quite a bit, but it's always odd seeing how things translate across.

MamaMary · 09/01/2015 16:25

Definitely going to watch it.

Read both books - a bit meh about them tbh.

But it will certainly be worth a watch.

MaryWestmacott · 09/01/2015 16:26

haven't read it, is it worth a read?

JeanneDeMontbaston · 09/01/2015 16:30

I think it is (and, easy to pick up in charity shops, which is a bonus).

But it's quite marmite - she has a particular style of writing, which some people really dislike.

Me! Loved the books. Very hard to get into, but I'm glad that someone on here said to persevere until page 50 and from then on, it gets easier to read. Very satisfying to read and I am looking forward to the TV series. HM puts a totally new slant on the whole of that period.

I LOVEd the books, loved them

I also loved the Tudors on telly (for sheer hilarity)

And I love Damien Lewis

How can this go wrong?

shggg245 · 09/01/2015 16:41

I can't wait - read both books several times and think Hilary Mantel is a total genius. Very excited also love Damian Lewis.

SconeRhymesWithGone · 09/01/2015 18:34

Definitely. We'll be getting in the US in April.

It's in all the papers this weekend. The beard suits Damian Lewis
