A review by jvan
Count Belisarius by Robert Graves

3.0

It read like a history, not a novel, which was the point of the book but which I think might be a bit of a chore for most readers, especially as it tries as hard as it can to come off as a classical history; there's mostly references to battles fought and troops movements and imperial scandals, without much development of character. I think it succeeds very well at what it tries to be, but that's not necessarily a good thing.
