nimrodiel 's review for:

The Gates of Rome by Conn Iggulden
4.0

I thought this was a good look into the young years of Julius Cesar. It was a bit compressed when the book came to looking at the conflicts between Cesar's uncle Marius and Scilla (I actually only noticed as I have read some non fiction works on this era of Roman history)

However, for a fictionalized account, I found this engaging and surprisingly a quick read when compared to the length of the book. This had been passed onto me by a family member who was clearing his book collection, and I'm glad I read it myself before passing it on.
