Book Reviews of The October Horse: A Novel of Caesar and Cleopatra
Book Review: A great finale to a great series
Summary: 5 Stars
Colleen McCullough's final book in the Masters Of Rome series has been a long time coming, but it's certainly been worth the wait.Covering the last days of the Roman Republic, perhaps the most fascinating time in recorded history, we see the downfall of Caesar and the beginnings of the struggle to succeed him.
The brilliant characterisations of the main players - Caesar, Cato, Cleopatra, Marcus Brutus, Servilia, Octavian, and Marcus Antonius - allows the incorporation of a stunning amount of detail without ever getting bogged down. The essence of Rome permeates through each and every of the 750 pages.
No matter how ruthless the characters can be, or how well known are their fates, you will hardly put this book down.
The October Horse manages to stand on its own as a single novel, but is best read in conjunction with, at least, the previous book, Caesar.
