After finishing all four seasons of The Tudors, I was still craving more Tudor history and picked up this book on the recommendation of my husband. I will admit that I am kind of history junkie, so even dry history books interest me, but I think this one is interesting even for readers not as into history as I am. At times Weir was a bit repetitive, but not excessively so. Most importantly, she really presented the information about Henry and all six of his wives in an entertaining fashion. After having read this book, I want to read her other book about the Henry VIII's children. And after that, I think I might dive into some historical reading about The Reformation, now that this book peaked my interest in Henry's break with Rome and the creation of the Anglican church.

In short, any history buff will love this book. And those who aren't will still enjoy all the things you didn't know you wanted to know about Henry's unfortunate wives.
