Pompeii by Robert Harris
3.0

It was better than okay, but I don't know if I "liked" it. Every time I pick up historical fiction novels, they read so formulaic. Is it me? Is it the books I'm choosing? Not sure. I haven't completely given up on the genre yet. Any way, I'm interested in the 79A.D. eruption of Vesuvius so the book definitely held my attention in that regard. It was well written, and I did have some investment in the characters, but the plot was predictable.
