What Members Thought
This was long, very long. The beginning was very promising and gave some good historical detail as to the Ptolemy family and the politics of the time. There just wasn't enough "meat" and it felt like we were along for the ride in Cleo's head. Towards the end, the battle scenes were just too detailed for my taste and I found myself skimming. I think that the book could have been very easily divided into a series.

The four principal characters are Caesar, Marcus Antonius, Octavian and the indomitable Cleopatra herself. Enjoyed reading about the world at this time.
