Customer Reviews

pretty good

I thought this book was pretty good. The book takes a while to get to the main part of the story though. It offers a glimpse of what life was like in ancient Rome and Carthage. It also fits information about Hannibal into the story without seeming like a bland history book. I think it is worth reading.
