Enjoyed this enough that I stopped reading the other books until I finished it. Lycurgus, Caesar, and Antony were my favorites. There were some lives where his description of the man did not fit that man's behaviors, and I suppose that was political. There were a few lives that didn't seem big enough to deserve a listing next to the others, but were still interesting tales. I could see myself owning and re-reading these.
