If Mantel can sustain this dark, haunted, illuminating, ironic time-travel for a third book, I will be astounded - but perhaps, not surprised.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.alaskabearviewing.us/bear_viewing.htm" rel="nofollow">Highly recommended Bear Viewing vacations</a><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00118707550077647899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6380302759428891353.post-20710775243111943632013-07-31T17:44:37.018-07:002013-07-31T17:44:37.018-07:00If you are looking for light entertainment in a bo...If you are looking for light entertainment in a book, this might not be your cup o' tea. However, if you are captivated by historical figures and want to imagine what their private lives and interactions might have been during an era fraught with political intrigue, dangerous alliances and mercurial fortunes this is your book. Would highly recommend reading Wolf Hall first.<br /><br />One of my enjoyments of both Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies was the subtle reference of the titles. Can't wait for book three!<br /><br />Marlene Detierro (<a href="http://www.roguerivertrips.info/services/Guides_and_Outfitters.asp" rel="nofollow">Gold Beach Oregon Fishing</a>) Marlene Detierrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035816972520443608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6380302759428891353.post-59213516623673813402012-11-11T11:31:17.992-08:002012-11-11T11:31:17.992-08:00Dear Juliet, myself too found Wolf Hall a bit tire...Dear Juliet, myself too found Wolf Hall a bit tiresome to be sincere. I think it's a right adjective, tiresome, but I enjoyed it very much all the same. Sometimes I have a strange persistence, friends and my wife used to tell me I could read books nobody else could.<br /><br />Anyway maybe you wouldn't find "Bring Up The Bodies" so tiresome, also because it's shorter..but it's actually "nimble" too.<br />I was thinking about earth and you and your blog writing a poem on this terrible Sunday of high water and Sirocco in Venice...<br /><br />Dear Dave, yes "Bring Up The Bodies" is a great title, the whole language of the book vibrates.

I gave up on Wolf Hall when it came out, not because of anything about it, but because for one reason or another I put it down for too long and then couldn't get back on track - old age has such memory problems! I am now reading it again -- and will certainly follow it with Bring up the Bodies. (What a great title!)Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.com
