John asked this question about Wolf Hall (Thomas Cromwell, #1):

I found this book difficult to read, because one had to constantly refer to family trees. If I left it for a few days I almost had to start again. Not sure it is one I would recommend as a MUST read....anyone think differently?

Also Phillipa Gregory's The Other Boleyn Girl, is very cheesy romance, but helped make the characters stand out. So is it a Must-Read? I think it depends on how much you love Tudor England. But if the reader is already familiar with the time period and the major political players, then I think yes.(less)
