Rating this book is tough because it is not a fictional novel with a whole story involved. It is more like a History lesson on her life. I found it compelling. Here are my likes and dislikes and you can make up tour own mind:
I know much of her history but this author provides some info I did not know. I never knew for example that she was known to have been able to speak Half a dozen or more Languages! That is so impressive and I do not recall ever reading that before.
Also although I knew lots about her life, there was much I did not know about the aftermath. For example, I did not know about the lies and propaganda Octavian spread about her which saddened me greatly. I found this book to be informative.
I was a bit confused bu the jumping around which was really my only major issue. I did not get why her death was not covered in the chapter directly after the fall of Marc Anthony. It was a bit choppy and I started to think he had not written about it so I was pleased to see it come up at a later point.
I also have read about her finding out about Anthony's betrayal which was covered in the Elizabeth Taylor film and also included in many Bios but I did not read that here. I wish the book had gone into more depth on the siblings as well. It was a bit short and choppy but I did learn some stuff.
But it is informative and well written. If you are seeking information, there is more then enough in this book.… (mais)
