I'm not going to write an Amazon review of Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall, about Thomas Cromwell, because I don't think I have anything to add to the 4800+ reviews. But if you're looking for a brilliant historical novel that you can fall into... well, this is the right choice. It's escapist enough for my currently-poor concentration skills, but also manages to convey a real picture for what it might have been like.

Wolf Hall was brilliant on so many levels, perhaps most of all as depicting Cromwell as brilliant Machiavellian schemer. The plot was second to none.
However, I have to admit to not being a fan of the writing style itself, and acknowledge I’m in a small minority of readers with this opinion.
