A review by ioanaj
Augustus by John Williams

Loved it.

I did enjoy it enormously but I could not stop myself from comparing it with my absolute favorite historical fiction story, I, Claudius. Since they both deal with some of the same people it was very difficult to put aside the ideas and feelings I had about them from reading Robert Graves' masterpiece.
The writing was perfect for me and so was the pacing.
It goes on my favorite historical fiction list:)
