The Other Boleyn Girl

I finished it last night. I've been falling more and more in love with the novel but now it's over. I was really dreading the end of it.

1. I know the ending as history tells it, so I knew it wouldn't be pleasant.
2. I didn't want the book to end!

But it did. And I will say, I was rather disappointed with the ending. It was very rushed and anti-climatic. But, it was still good, I just wish it would have been more dramatic, more heart wrenching, and more intense.

but the beginning and middle were pretty much awesome! So I'm going to see the movie in a few minutes. Ryan has graciously agreed to take me, although I know he would rather not. But, he made a deal with me that he wouldn't fall asleep or anything. I hate disrespect to something I love. He said he would do no more than blink. :)

I did promise him a few executions and quite bit of blood. But I also made sure to let him know that the executions and blood would be interrupted by love, sex, and tears. We'll see how he does.

I recommend the book, but I'm a female, so the experience might be different if a male picks it up.
