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 Iโm in a small minority of readers with this opinion.
@evamarie I understand what you object to, though I found it admirable rather than annoying.
The author does an amazing job of conveying "what he says" without going into what he actually thinks. So while you are in his head... you don't know him.
(I'm fond of the cat Marlinspike though.)
