Anyone else read/reading this? I'm still going, but I'm really liking it. I like the style shes used here - with several characters doing the narration. Some might say its confusing, but i say it gives a wide view of perspectives.

what did we all think?

I'm thinking its pretty good.  I was a little confused at first with the narration but I'm getting it now and I'm enjoying it.  I feel so sorry for Lady Jane.  Her mother was such a nasty bitch (can I say that?).  Nasty hag.  She was so mean to her.  Life pretty much sucked for women back in the Tudor days.  Please don't ban me .  I'll be good.

I just finished this book.  Took a bit to get into it, what with the point of view changing so frequently.  But once it got going, it was really good.  Poor Jane, she really was used as a pawn, wasn't she?  I think it would have been interesting if she had reigned for a little bit longer, to see if she would have been able to put Northumberland in his place.

I read this book. I quite liked it myself.
It was the first book I've read on her actually.
I just finished reading a book on Jane Seymour by Laurien Gardner.
Seems there is'nt alot known about her. I like the way the author
explains that too.

Correct me if I am wrong...but I think the book on Lady Jane Grey is Alison Weir's first foray into the world of historical fiction. The operative word here being fiction.
