Interesting, although it felt more like a connected series of essays, with occasional repetition across them. An engaging read nevertheless.

Great book for learning about the destruction that Christianity brought on Paganism. Very educational and all "biased" information is supported using evidence. Excellent for talking about Hypatia and her tragic death.

Man, I knew Christianity had a sordid past, but I had no idea it was THIS sordid. As a bibliophile and devourer of knowledge, the idea that a single religion could so negatively affect the history and culture of an entire empire - and the world at large - is beyond disturbing. And I'm STILL mad about the Library of Alexandria.
