Book Reviews of Augustus
Book Review: Make the reader believe totally
Summary: 5 Stars
It is perhaps one of the best books I have read. Even before my interest in Rome and Roman things was peaked I was given this book to read. I could not put it down. Written in the first person by Augustus himself it allows us, the reader, an unexpected intimacy with this enigma of a man. You cannot but help to admire and even like him, although, as any leader of that time he did things that we find shocking. The author makes us believe that the story is based on new writings recently found by archaeologists. I believed that bit of fiction for a short time after I had read it. I wanted to believe it. It is a great book, and a book that you will want to read over and over again. Allan Massie is a great writer and especially so with his Roman series.
