I am half way through the novel. It is a very good historical novel.
It is not necessary to Wolf Hall to enjoy this book. With Wolf Hall there were times I was unsure whether the use of 'he' referred to Thomas Cromwell or someone else. This is not an issue with this novel. It is an easy read. It's the story of Anne Boleyn's demise told from Thomas Cromwell's perspective. I am enjoying the array of interesting characters. So far a 4 to 5 star read for me.

I am having the same reading experience. Wolf Hall was interesting but a tougher read for me. Bringing up the Bodies is a very engaging read so far.

I am about 60% through this book. I guess I should start posting in the second thread for this discussion.

Am enjoying this book as an audiobook. It's helpful that the male narrator uses different tones, inflections, cadences for the numerous characters. As I'm listening to this book, am seeing the Netflix/Amazon version in my mind's eye.
