Book Reviews of Decline And Fall of the Roman Empire
Book Review: Difficult for the modern reader
Summary: 4 Stars
While the text is exhaustive and interesting, the language and phraseology can be difficult for the modern reader. This work was written over 230 years ago and can be challenging at times. The vocabulary can leave you lost and wondering if you are missing something. But Gibbon is a gifted story teller which keeps the book interesting and brings to life numerous ancient characters. This is not a book for the faint of heart, but it is a MUST for anyone seriously interested in Roman history. If you can handle the antiquated style, the book will be a pleasure to read.
