  • Brisk to read, but not a complete biography
  • The publisher has characterized this book as "brisk to read", which I think is a fair assessment. The book is also subtitled as "The Life of Rome's First Emperor", which I do not believe is a...

  • A workman-like treatment of the subject of Augustus
  • After my second read-through of the book, I'm still not enthusiastic about it. In fact, rather than breathlessly following an `often terrifying drama,' I got bored at times, and more often than...

  • Awesome chronicle and enjoyale read
  • Great read on the Roman Emperors that covers a good amount of detail via fine narrative. Nice touch with a time line (bar form) running through the book to help keep the reader's "place" in history.
