What I love about Hilary Mantel's sequel to Wolf Hall, Bring Up the Bodies, is Thomas Cromwell's management style----he and King HenryVIII have a good cop-bad cop thing going on and it works. Henry is the C.E.O. and Cromwell is his Chief of Staff. Henry tires of Anne Boleyn and Cromwell does all the dirty work getting rid of her while Henry runs off to write sonnets to Jane Seymour. I loved this follow up and will now hold my breath till the next one where Cromwell gets downsized.
