Title: Riveting at times, very interesting
Product review: I am shocked at how so many reviewers are shocked at the good reviews this novel received. Who cares about historical accuracy. It is a novel after all. History is always always slanted. Does one actually expect a historical fiction author to relive the event? Throughout the novel I found myself amused, in awe at the training descriptions, captivated by such concrete battle scenes, and feeling for the characters. The chracters are all admirable in their own ways, each conveying the valor and vulnerabilities of human lives. All in all it was a rewarding read that sparked my interest in learning more of actual Spartan history.
