This book was okay. The introduction is that Will Sommers is forwarding a secret autobiography written by King Henry VIII to Henry's illegitimate child by Anne Boleyn's sister, Mary. The artistic license with history continues from there. Many of the psychological insights to Henry through the years are seemingly accurate given his pathological behavior. In short, good read, perhaps not accurate, but worth reading anyway.
