sharongrigg 's review for:

Pompeii by Robert Harris
5.0
adventurous dark emotional informative reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I don't read much historical fiction but  there's something about the tragedy of Pompeii that has always captivated me, and Harris has certainly written a fascinating story set at the time of the eruption, absolutely absorbing and moving, highly recommend! Riveting and emotional.
