    so maybe those who loved Philippa Gregory found this to be "boring" because it ...
  

*by S***D on Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2017*

It is rare that I leave a review for any purchase that I have made, but after reading some of the other reviews here I felt that I needed to set a few things straight.I am not your average Anne Boleyn fan--I have been studying Anne Boleyn intensely since I was 12 (I am now 29). I have made my pilgrimages to the important English and French locations and have even been in the British Library and allowed to hold her cherished book of hours. In that amount of time and effort you come to know which sources are objective, and which sources need to be taken with a bit of salt. In her writing, Claire informs the reader when the latter is the case and tells them why. She is not in any way bashing people who have spoken ill of Anne, she is informing you that the evidence comes from a source that had been entirely hostile toward Anne and that needs to be considered.Claire knows that Anne Boleyn was no saint. Those who reviewed this as being the work of someone who puts Anne on a pedestal must not have read up to page 12 where Claire mentions Anne's temper and some of the things that Anne had actually said. Claire is not saying that Anne was an angel--only that she wasn't the total monster that some have made her out to be.There is repetition in this book--it is a collection of articles and the same pieces of evidence can be used to make numerous points.I have never been interested in historical fiction, so maybe those who loved Philippa Gregory found this to be "boring" because it wasn't warped or what they expected...in my opinion, the real truth is a lot more interesting and Anne's life needs no added drama.With my almost 20 years of experience and learning I'm going to say that I really enjoyed this book. If you're here because you've just finished watching the Tudors, Wolf Hall, or the Other Boleyn Girl and you want more, I encourage you to read this, and also to go and check out the Anne Boleyn Files Website, as well as Claire's book The Fall of Anne Boleyn.

    "Truth" and the Tudors
  

*by T***1 on Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2013*

It seems a little of an oxymoron to mix the virtue of truth with the Tudors (or any other power-mad royal family), but in this first book in the collection (I have not read the second offering yet) she tackles a number of popular tales and misconceptions about the big names of the period.  I'm not sure that all of the topics are the last word on the issues, but it is good, quick reading.  There is a  bit of cross-over between the articles, but it is a good read.Anne Boleyn is one of those famous historical characters for whom people either run hot or cold, and seldom change their perception.  Was she an innocent victim of an older man's lust, or a heartless home wrecker?  Was she a doctrinally devout Catholic or a wild-eyed evangelical?  Was she as demure as her historical Age would require, or a vengeful enemy to those who opposed her?I personally doubt that any modern historian will be able to lay these stereotypes to rest.  They are based on emotion and facts rarely have any influence over strong feelings.  What I do hold to be incontrovertible, however, is that historical fiction does little to clarify such issues and does no justice to people who are no longer around to defend themselves.  That should be the goal of a true historian.  I, personally, wish that fiction writers would stick to truly made-up characters instead of bona fide historical men and women.  Of course, that would mean that their imaginations would have to go into overdrive.  With historical fiction, most of the work of character development has already been done for them.

    good, not great
  

*by A***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2012*

I picked this book on amazon when it was first published. I'm a fan of the author's blog, though I don't always have time to read it. I knew some of the information would be repetitive, but I was expecting some new information as well.I wasn't expecting that within the book itself, there was a lot of repeat information. I got the impression she just gathered up all the articles on her blog with the same tag & put them together as a book, instead of actually editing the articles by hand to make sure they didn't mention the same info over & over again. A few beta readers probably would have helped, too.That being said - I do enjoy Ridgway's blog & I am a big Tudor buff - both the fiction stuff & the real actual historical facts & I do think this book is a great place to start, especially if you are new to her blog.
