Title: Oh, please.....
Review: I had high hopes for this book, as I am a lover of historical fiction, particularly Roman. The first few pages seemed to support my hope, but then . . . My advice is to save your money. The book is a juvenile piece of literature, full of inconsistent behavoir by the main characters and a decided anti-Roman perspective. On the whole the author's portrayal of Romans is , at best, one dimensional and harshly judgemental. There is no depth to the story, no richness to the prose, no enthralling historical detail, just a bunch of words on a page. I made myself finish it as I forked over $25 for it, but suffice to say there are numerous better written historical fiction books out there. Thankfully.
