Customer Reviews

Devastatingly Beautiful

This book is absolutely fantastic! It's a great combination of pictures and text, facts about the eruption, the destruction, and what archaeologists have found so far.This would be an excellent source for a school project, as it has tons on the life of the people of Pompeii, as well as archaeological findings. It's very informative, but not so much that the text is stuffy or boring. This book has been fabulous for me as I plan to study Pompeii and Herculaneum after school.I would definitely recommend this book for anyone interested in Roman History, natural disasters, and definitely archaeology. It would also be a great addition to any home library, as its fantastic pictures and illustrations make it a great look-through!

Interesting Text, Gorgeous Pictures

Captivating, easy-to-read text accompanied by attractive, glossy photos. Would definitely recommend adding it to your reading collection on antiquity.
