A very readable sojourn into the weeks prior to the Ides of March
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
The Ides of March This book is much better than the two, 2 star reviews that were currently available at the time that I made this review. While the characters are not incredibly deep--as other reviewers have stated correctly--the story flows well, especially in the beginning. It does drag a bit in the middle, and I would offer a suggestion; read the book in a very short period of time. Why? Well, because due to the author's use of many fictional characters and very short mini-chapters in which he moves back and forth from Caesar to this character, then another, then another 2!, etc, it becomes very convoluted if you've put the book down for a few days and then jump back into it. I should have read it in only one day and not attempted to read it at night while I was also focused on reading Caesar by Adrian Goldsworthy. At times I had to go to the back of the book and look up the characters, which the author has wisely identified with short synopsises on each. But overall, I enjoyed the book and find it a worthwhile read.
