Title: Disappointing...
Review: ... especially when compared with "The Memoirs of Cleopatra," as so many people are doing. This book has some characterizations I did like -- namely, Caesarion as a spoiled palace brat and Antyllus as an insecure, awkward teen -- but the rest of it seems pretty lacking. Half the book seems to be sex scenes that might as well have come from some trashy teen romance novel, and Antony and Cleopatra are just too one-dimensional to be enjoyable. Check this one out from the library first, or borrow it from somebody, before you spend money on it.
