Carol Wolper's racy Anne of Hollywood brings the story of Anne Boleyn into 21st century Hollywood.  The update works amazingly well.  Here Henry is the charismatic head of a media conglomerate, Mary is a fun-loving pothead, and George is an actor rumored to have hooked up with a frat brother.  Wolper does an excellent job of coming up with a modern role for each of the historic characters.  There's even a plausible explanation for Henry not being divorced from Catherine (they do live separately) before dating Anne.  This incredibly fun novel is full of delicious scandal and plenty of sex.
5/5
