5.0 out of 5 stars
essential for fans, Sep 30 2010

This review is from: Falco: The Official Companion (Hardcover)
I have been a Falco fan from the beginning. This book is as wonderful as the novels, full of the author's trademark sly and wry wit. It can be dipped into for specific information, but it is also fun just to read straight through. After a short autobiography, Davis supplies answers to everything you ever wanted to know about the world of Marcus Didius Falco from where Davis gets her ideas, to summaries of the novels, character sketches, even a couple of family trees. There is also general information on ancient Rome including maps, glossary of terms, timeline and much, much more. There is also a wealth of photos of relevant places and objects and even a photo of the dog that inspired the appearance of Nux.

Falco, The Official Companion - Lindsey Davis, Nov 1 2010

This review is from: Falco: The Official Companion (Hardcover)
Not quite your usual "Companion" but certainly entertaining. Since I had not read the most recent "Falco" I had to stop until I had, to avoid spoilers. Recommended for someone who follows the antics of Marcus Didius.

For the Falco Fan, Feb 13 2011

This review is from: Falco: The Official Companion (Hardcover)
This is the book Falco-ites have been waiting for: a feast of backstage Marcus Didius Falco served up by Miss Lindsey Davis herself. Book contains many sections, including recaps of all the Falco book plots; a carefully explored biographical section on all the characters, big and small; background information about Miss Davis's writing process, travels, friends and secrets, and much much more. The section on Frequently Asked Questions is especially illuminating and entertaining. There is also a wonderful section on Roman life and culture. This book has inspired me to re-read the series again.
