It was quite different from the book, and they added somethings that really upset me, but on the whole it was a good movie. Worth seeing.

If interested in this period of history, you might be interested in Alison Weir's 'Six Wives of Henry VIII'. www.amazon.com/Wives-Henry-VIII-Alison-Weir/dp/034538072X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1206855648&sr=1-1Talks a little bit about Mary Boleyn but loads on Anne and different slant to a lot of the other stuff written about her. It is non-fiction but really, really interesting and readable. Actually this is one of the reasons I am staying away from The other Boleyn Girl, ie, have read too much about that period of history and think any inaccuracies would really bother me. Happier to read historical fiction if it is a time/events I don't know too much about,eg, Posie Graeme-Evans The Innocent which is set in the time of Edward IV. I'm sure this is wildly inaccurate but doesn't bother me as I don't really know any different. Link if anyone interested: www.amazon.com/Innocent-Novel-Posie-Graeme-Evans/dp/0743272226/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1206855891&sr=1-3Also interested in checking out Sharon Kay PEnman's historical fiction. I have a friend who is a big fan of hers. ANyone else read any?

I actually heard it's a good movie, I've heard about it in the news (there was an interview with Natalie Portman and Scarlet Johansson about how they're both Jewish and playing a role of christian sisters or something) and it's now broadcasted all over my country, so I figured I might give it a try, and I would also like to read the book!

I loved the Book, and then watched the movie. The movie was good, but I didn't enjoy it. There were too many key details missed out. I.E a daughter... The books are very accurate. I'm an English and history graduate... these books combine my both interests. I'm currently on the second one, and I'm still loving her books.

the books are accurate, but there are still things changed in the books... But I think I prefer the book over the real life story..

I'm halfway through the book and I absolutely love it! So I decided to watch the trailer because I can't wait to see the movie, and it just kinda ruined it for me, lol. (Well I also searched the characters in Wiki, but the trailer contains spoilers if you ask me!)
