Title: Certainly Not All That!!!!
Review: I read some of the other reviews for this book, and being very interested in the time and the setting, was looking forward to my copy of this book arriving.I really wanted to like this book.In truth, the characters are hollow and there is next to no time put in towards more than a cursory glance at each of them, the storyline flicks between the characters from each side in a jagged, hap-hazard way that ultimately results in confusion over characters and sides of the story.The writing style of the author seems to be more interested in 'showing off' particular details of Ancient Greek and Persian life that he has learnt rather than capturing the subject in an imaginative and creative way.Ultimately I was left with no emotional investment in the story and no desire to read other novels of the same Author, which is sad because I love the setting and the time period.As I said, I really wanted to like this book. Sadly, it fell too far short.
