Boudica and The Lost Roman by Mike Ripley, May 14 2007

This review is from: Boudica and the Lost Roman (Hardcover)
Mike Ripley is one of my favorite British mystery writers. He is also an amateur archeologist. Boudica was the Queen who defeated the Roman armies in a number of battles before being defeated. This is a story told in many versions in the UK - but less familiar in the U.S. It's well written, Ripley is an entertaining writer, and presents a fictional version of events that are as likely to be real as any other. I would definitely recommend it as just a good read, although if you have an interest in British or Roman history you'll especially enjoy it. A bit gory, I must confess, but history is nothing if not gory - so there's not any avoiding it. A great story, well told, with great characters.

A Non-Immersion Read, Feb 6 2011
By Elizabeth A. Rivera - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Boudica and the Lost Roman (Hardcover)
The story line was real good. However, this author was intent on translating where certain modern day British towns were in comparison to Roman Britain. He should have provided a map at the beginning of the book with the locations and then I could have really immersed myself in the story. Also, there was a moment towards the end of the book where I just said "Huh?... what was the author thinking when he finished this book?" I felt that this was a wasted effort on the authors part, and mine.
