Title: The definition of a good book...
Review: ... is one where not only are you unable to put it down, but once finished, it continues to haunt you. The humanized details Vidal paints of Julian -- as an emporer, philosopher and as a young man thrust into a life different from that which he had wanted -- are nuanced and riveting. But even more interesting than the novel he's constructed, is the inevitable question that lingers: Can you imagine how different the world would be today if Julian had succeeded in stemming the tide of Christianity?
