Not at all what you'd think, July 30 2004
By Jane Heir - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Evening of the World: A Novel of the Dark Ages (Matter of Eternal Rome) (Paperback)
Yes, it's subtitled "a romance of the Dark Ages," but everyone neglected to mention that its main theme is homosexual romance. From the reviews, I expected the history and historical figures of the time, not an unrelieved series of sexual invitations, genital explorations, and young boys offering themselves for such service. The first few chapters were enough to make me want a refund. Mr. Massie's style is well-suited to story-telling, and that's why I gave the book two stars, but if you want more story than sexual adventures, read Gillian Bradshaw. This book is going in the trash.

Eco or Massie?, Dec 31 2004
By Floyd the Barber - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Evening of the World: A Novel of the Dark Ages (Matter of Eternal Rome) (Paperback)
How many of the "boy-encounters-everyone/everything-in-his-time" books are going to be published? This one is as bad as "Baudalino," a novel I have no idea why Eco published. This incoherent book is simply awful. Don't bother. If you want a really good evocation of Honorian times read Breem's "Eagle in the Snow."
Listmania!
