Caesar (1997) (edit title/settings)

• Rated 5 stars

“Brings history to life... and this 5th book of the Masters of Rome series rolls right on with the rest. It may not be 100% accurate (but let's face it - after more that 2000 years - is any history accurate?) - but it's damn fun to read. And here we have the struggle between the Boni (personified by Cato) & Pompey the Great vs Caesar. And what the author does - brilliantly to me anyway - is demonstrate the politics involved - as much as the wars... as one follows directly from the other. I get through about one of these a year - and they are always highlights for me. Historical "Fiction" - so she takes liberties - but know that going in. Ya want to read the history - Caesar's Commentaries are available - but these are alot more fun!~”

“I can't get enough of this series! Great job bringing history to life--plus Caesar proves just how bad-ass he is during the Gallic Wars... and the following Civil War.”

• Rated 5 stars

“McCullough, though a writer of novels is no less an historian. You have only to glance at one of her Masters of Rome series volume, to understand she is a Master of Roman History.”

• Rated 1 stars

“I did not enjoy this book. It was not very easy to follow and I did not find it interesting. I think maybe if I knew Latin I would understand it more...”

• Rated 4 stars

“If you like history, but find reading it to be boring, this is a fun way to learn a few facts (and a few guesses) about Roman history.”

• Rated 3 stars

“If the book had been in two parts had it been easy to rate it since the first part was tremendously tough to read while the second part of the book when Caesar marches against Rome is extremely interesting to read. But although I loved the second part of the book I can only give it a 3:a in rating beacuse I didn't care much for the beginning.”

“I loved the entire Master's of Rome series and was eager when I heard that against her own word that she wasn't writing any more about Caesar, she wrote a finale about Antony and Cleopatra, their fuming and fighting, and not enough about Julius Caesar's son. The book was as wearying as Antony and Cleopatra were towards the end. However, I will eventually get a copy just to complete the collection. Caesar was much more interesting than Augustus.”
