I can see Twilight fans liking this. The romance between Hades and Persephone just didn't have enough substance for me. The book itself didn't get that interesting until about halfway through.

(Language: English)
I love Philippa Gregory. (Or perhaps just anything to do with the Tudor and Elizabethan periods).She brings the tyranny and madness of King Henry VIII alive from the depths of history. I didn't like this one as much as "The Other Boleyn Girl" but it was just as captivating and historically rich, weaved with a slight feminist touch. The rushing events to the end were heartbreaking as TOBG did, it leaves me aching for more, as if the tale ended to soon - unjust in its sudden end and short life, like poor Katherine Howard. (Though my friends claime 500 plus pages is NOT short, but a tome). I have but one complaint, a mistake, but not too horrible it ruined the book. Katherine recieves a letter and it needs to be read to her because her literacy was poor. But in the end she can read a document of her confession? Normally I wouldn't notice but I read a big chunk of the book in one sitting.

I've always struggled with body image. This book helped me to love myself.

(Language: English)
Not much happens plot wise, but I still enjoy it because of the beautiful descriptions of the pain Bella is feeling. The emotions are always well written in my humble opinion. I love lots of details!

(Language: English)
I saw the movie first only because my Library had it. I enjoyed the movie more only because that felt more detailed. I was expecting the slow plot, the fact nothing really happens. I didn't enjoy it only because I enjoy more details in books spent on either thoughts or surroundings. Though the simplicity makes a statement because as a maid, Griet isn't meant to speak her thoughts to those around her.
