Great example of a book I was sure I wouldn't like (religous? historical? nope!) but I LOVED it. Read it a couple of years ago and I just remember being completely facinated by ALL aspects of this book--the writing, the relationships, the history, the religous aspects...extremely engaging and interesting.

I watched I, Claudius(BBC)and had to know more. I devoured this book and then moved on to Tacitus and Seutonius. What a wonderful beginning with Roman history...so very good.

awesome and hilarious! a quick read!
