Title: Rambling and boring
Product review: I do not recommend this book at all. In fairness, I couldn't get further than the first three chapters, so maybe it gets better later on in the book. He spends these chapters mostly rambling without a point. He has the very annoying habit of opening every paragraph with four questions and doesn't even begin to answer any of them. Even with a background understanding of the politics of the late Republic, Meier's questions hardly entice the reader to continue. Like many other reviewers, for a great historical biography, go with Peter Green's Alexander of Macedon and for a good introduction into the late Republic, go with Holland's Rubicon. Both are much more enjoyable than this book.
