The greatest literary sensation of recent times - and now the inspiration for a major BBC series, starring Mark Rylance and Damian Lewis and directed by Peter Kosminsky. In this staggeringly brilliant novel, Hilary Mantel brings the opulent, brutal world of the Tudors to bloody, glittering life. It is the backdrop to the rise and rise of Thomas Cromwell: lowborn boy, charmer, bully, master of deadly intrigue and, finally, most powerful of Henry VIII's courtiers. Both winners of the Man Booker Prize and already hugely successful stage plays, WOLF HALL and its sequel BRING UP THE BODIES have now been transformed into a BBC television series starring Mark Rylance and Damian Lewis, bringing history to life for a whole new audience.

Must read
This is s must read for anyone who enjoys a historical novel written in a most unique style. Hilary Mantel takes you inside the world, and mind, of one of the most interesting men who made the reign of Henry VIII a facinating period. The style of writing would make this a must read regardless of the particular character holding center stage. Can't wait to start the following two books in the series.

Confusing read
Although this book won awards, I have reservations about why it did so. Proper grammar? check. Good editing? check. Historical accuracy? . . . maybe. But who could tell from the way it is written? I had to drag out a history book to put the pieces together.
The novel is a tale spun as though you are viewing another person's dream, wandering in and out of personal and public areas of thought in a single paragraph not clarified by quotation marks. Most of the time there is no clear delineation between the character's actual thought, the imagination of the author, or dream-like state among several characters interacting in a surreal situation, leaving you to wonder if such ever took place, or only was something the character hoped would take place, but never did.
In short, it is a confusing read.
If you like reading something and never really being sure what's going on, then this book is for you. It will help to watch the video production along with reading the book. They need each other to help clarify what is going on.

The other Cromwell
A marvelous book - I imagine reading it over and over. Hilary Mantel has produced a look at the Renaissance in Britain that was so engaging, I had trouble putting the book down but I didn't want it to end, so I rationed my reading. I wanted to move in with Thomas and take care of him.

Great historical novel
Mantel did her homework in researching the historical background of this novel. The characters come alive and they reflect accurately what we know about the real historical individuals. Great stuff although the revisionist scholars of the English Reformation will hate it.
