I didn't think I would like it as much as I did. I don't usually go for the historical fiction books. I brought it with me on a 4 hour trip, just as a diversion...I couldn't put it down! When my trip was over, I came into the house and read it all the way through.

I loved the relationships. The whole way Anne clawed her way to the top. Literally paved the way for her own demise. Very entertaining. I don't know how much was true. Doesn't really matter to me. I was fascinated and entertained.

As soon as I was done, I popped the movie in and was very disappointed. Only watched about 1/2 hour of it. I prefer to remember the story from the book.
