4.28 AVERAGE


Possibly the greatest biography I have ever read, wonderful and totally engaging. I gave it to my brother after, and he loved it too.

Vivid and interesting, and intersects with other readings on the period. My touchstone is usually how Pompeii is presented.

Interesting read, though Part II dragged on.

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