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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Loved it too.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.
