A review by bespectacledlibrarian
Pompeii by Robert Harris

5.0

I visited the ruins of Pompeii this summer and was completely fascinated by the entire phenomenon. So when my tour guide recommended this book, I knew I had to read it. Robert Harris does a fantastic job of mixing fiction and reality as he tells the story of Pompeii in the four days preceding and during the eruption of Vesuvius. The characters are very enjoyable, the action is believable, and the tension is palpable. An excellent read!
