Title: Great as fiction, but . . .
Product review: I have read this entire set and they are excellant reading in general. The way Mr Jacq portrays Ramses was very unrealistic, he was a god in his own right but the man was still human! It seemed throughout the 'books' that Pharaoh was "perfect" and "could do no wrong" but the characters around him were flawed. I think this five part "saga" would have been more believable if its main attraction had showed some frailties along the way. For example. the relationship Ramses has with his wife, Nefertari appears to be untouchable. What married couple has a "problem-free" relationship? I understand these novels were created for entertainment but what about just a little realism. Overall, its a good story and worth a read, even if the characters are shallow.
