Bring Up the Bodies

I loved this book but not as much as Wolf Hall. Here it felt like the immediacy and intimacy with our boy T Cromwell - with everyone really - was diminished. It was looking at the throbbing heart on an operating table, rather than racing around through bloody ventricles and veins.

If you read the first one then for god's sake read this one too, and if you haven't read the first one yet then this is no place to start.
