Tanya T.’s Reviews > Cleopatra > Status Update

The audiobook want to act up towards the end. I guess I read the last part.

The only thing Mark do is cry, give her babies, and make dumbass decisions. That's it.

I think Cleo is five seconds away for telling Mark "Man Up!!"

I honestly like how this was told. How Cleo is telling the story in her own words and sometimes gets ahead of herself. I don't considering it as her "spoiling" anything because in her mind, you should already know the major details of her story anyway. You should know what happen to her, J.C, M.A, if you took a history class, watch movies or plays about her life. She's telling the finer details that people missed.

It is good so far but it just slow. We are at 46 BC right now at almost 60% in and we still got 16 years of her reign left. Marc just been mention in passing but I think we almost at the point that J.C is about to get stabbed and Marc enters her life. Cleo don't play about her child at all. Charmion is her ride or die for real.

I understand why the two versions that I watched of Cleo ( Liz Taylor Version which I have the dvd and just recently rewatched during TCM's 31 Days of Oscar and the T.V Mini Series with Timothy Dalton and Billy Zane which I wore that vhs out) pretty much starts when she meets Julius Caesar ( Happy Belated Ides of March). I 'm trying to hold on until she meets him but I'm bored already .
