Title: An excellent perspective on Imperial Rome
Product review: This book does an outstanding job of putting you in the shoes of an interesting main character, who is given a chance to redeem himself by travelling to Africa and rescuing the daughter of a prominent Roman family. The depiction of life in Rome and Africa is interesting and has a very authentic feel. The events and plot are involving too and kept me gripped from start to finish. It's more of a political thriller than a military study, so don't look for the rich battle scenes so prominent in the author's other book "Eagle in the Snow." Both books are outstanding in their own way, however, and the initial "one-star" review seems way off the mark to me.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
