Wolf Hall

I quit after 65 pages.

The subject is interesting, but the author has affected a really annoying device by which she refers to her protagonist, almost exclusively as "he." So she say something like "He was worried about how the king would react." I had to read each of these sentences a couple times to make sure it was, in fact, Cromwell who was being referred to, and not, Cardinal Wolsey or the cardinal's valet or the Duke of Norfolk.

A cheap and easy way of being artsy. Who needs it?
