Incredibly researched and organizational structure given the subject occurred 2000 years ago, yet dull. No life to this biography, flat words on a page.

The beginning surprised me with its information and engaging nature. I took a couple classes on Roman history and expected to be merely reminded of what I learned, but instead I learned a lot. Unsurprisingly, much of what I learned were specific details my professors glossed over to cover more general concepts. For example, I never knew Caesar had epilepsy or that he had a long-standing affair with Brutus' mother. Battle formations were covered in detail with illustrations to match. At first I was surprised at how quickly I was getting through the book, but towards the end, when I was more familiar with the events, I just wanted to be finished.
