A review by jessk80
Pompeii by Robert Harris

4.0

Everyone knows how the story ends, but how you get there is that counts. I would never have thought that a story about a guy who works on the aqueducts would be an exciting way to tell the story of Pompeii. It's a slow burn, but once the mountain starts erupting it's warp speed. There are facts about volcanoes peppered through the book, so what you are about to read after that fact it's a little harder. There are characters you love and characters who hate, there is Roman life on display, and famous names. It's imaginative and exciting.
