A review by seemowrite
Pompeii by Robert Harris

3.0

Pompeii has always been fascinating to me. This novel, deeply rooted in the facts known about the city and the infamous eruption that ended it, brings Pompeii to life. Not recommended for children (though any of you also fascinated by Pompeii will already know this). The novel takes place over a very short period of time and follows the life of one man working to repair the aqueduct, unaware of the dangers of Mt. Vesuvius until it is too late. But does he find out in time to survive?
