Title: Masterfully Done - Historically Accurate
Product review: As a scholar of ancient civilizations, I find so many historical fictions books completely without basis and wholly inaccurate. Having read this book all the way through once (having started and stopped several times due to the myriad of characters to remember) now, I thoroughly enjoyed myself and can't wait to read the 2nd installment in The Grass Crown. The portrayals of Gaius Marius and Lucius Cornelius Sulla are believable and completely in line with the personalities and other traits as I understand them from my studies.Ms. McCullough has outdone herself yet again. The Thorn Birds can never be unseated, but this book is a close second. The myriad of maps, definitions and other reference materials only added to the enjoyment of the book (if not also the length and weight).Kudos
