  My MIL said it was dry.
  ETA: She likes history too and she said the middle was so dull! If you're in the beginning still, I'm not sure what to say! I have (her copy) on my shelf too but I'm tempted just to skip to Bring Up the Bodies because I've heard it's much better.

  I cannot do it. I'm trying, I really am. 

  
  

  It makes my brain hurt.

  I've read Bring Up the Bodies, but I haven't read Wolf Hall yet. I thought that Bring Up the Bodies was interesting because of the subject matter and seeing a different perspective on the historical events, but the writing never really pulled me in. I suspect Wolf Hall is similar?

  
  

  As for the Booker Prize, I read so many that I did enjoy that I thought I would like them all. Then I read The Finkler Question. Now I realize that they're just as hit-and-miss as anything else when it comes to personal tastes.
