Summary
Anne Boleyn: A King's Obsession by best-selling historian Alison Weir, author of Katherine of Aragon: The True Queen, is the second captivating novel in the Six Tudor Queens series. An unforgettable portrait of the ambitious woman whose fate we know all too well, but whose true motivations may surprise you. Essential listening for fans of Philippa Gregory and Elizabeth Chadwick.
The young woman who changed the course of history.
Fresh from the palaces of Burgundy and France, Anne draws attention at the English court, embracing the play of courtly love.
But when the King commands, nothing is ever a game.
Anne has a spirit worthy of a crown - and the crown is what she seeks. At any price.
Anne Boleyn. The second of Henry's Queens. Her story.
History tells us why she died. This powerful novel shows her as she lived.

not guilty.
easy book to listen to. Lady Anne voice changes through her moods and thoughts. Her last days are very dramatic and hard to listen to as you feel her fear. I fear her demise was that she was jealous of others and trying to rule with King Henry. These thoughts where before her time as women should not know of political thoughts or even voice them. King Henry had to have her killed as she would be dangerous.

Enchanting
Couldn't stop listening, I'm a little familiar with Anne's story so it was amazing to hear her fleshed out as the whole person she was. Anne like Catherine was a victim of patriarchal rule, she was murdered by the state when her body didn't do what the powerful men around her wanted. It's emotional to listen to her terror while imprisoned and infuriating to hear her so elequently and intelligenty defend herself in that shame trial. This audiobook is a brilliant tribute to an incredible woman, even with the occasional recording mistakes and the drums at the end, which are a little jarring. I'lll listen again and again, amazing.

Beautifully written and performed
Never before have I felt so involved with a character that I felt I already knew. There is no fear of not enjoying this book because you already know how it ends. I was truly transported to these treacherous times and felt with Anne through her life. I loved this book.

Heartbreaking
The narrator was fantastic. Near the end I had such dread as I'm a history buff and knew what was coming as soon as the date at the beginning of the chapters we're announced.

Alison Does it Again!!!
Any additional comments?
Wow, Alison did it again. What an amazing work of fiction. What I loved so much about this book was the character development of Anne Boleyn. We saw her slowly transform from an eager girl to a wary girl; from a wary girl to a bitter young woman; from a bitter woman to a determined woman and finally into downright evil yet aware woman at times and finally to a scared yet courageous woman towards the end. No matter how evil she is, I always feel pity for her towards the end.
Great story and narration.

Excellent book, fantastic narration
This book had me captivated from start to finish! The performance was outstanding and I enjoyed the extra dimension added by Weir's skilled way of writing this in the first person from the view of the Anne Boleyn. The last few chapters are very challenging to get through because of Anne being sent to her execution but it is an audio book I would definitely listen to again. One of my favourite books!
