Book Reviews of The Dream of Scipio
Book Review: A Beautiful Dream
Summary: 5 Stars
I rarely write reviews, although I read constantly. But I need to write a review of The Dream of Scipio. This book is one of the finest I've ever read. It is a work of art. It is not an easy read for it follows three different characters in three different timelines. But the characters are interrelated, and a common theme pervades the entire book. There is a symmetry, a beauty, and a message in this work. I strongly recommend it, not to the casual reader, but to the connoiseur of great literature. For this book truly qualifies as such. Enjoy!
