5.0�toiles sur 5 Much more than a Latin Lover, Jui 10 2004

Par	Leslie J Lumpkin (Arlington, VA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Caesars Women Mm (Mass Market Paperback)

I'll admit that the title, Caesar's Women, piqued my interest in this book, but it wasn't long into the reading when I found that the object of my desire was Caesar, himself. In fact, I admit to falling madly in love with this young and vital Caesar. Colleen McCullough succeeds in drawing her readers into the mind, spirit, and body of this remarkable, God-like man, and allows us to fully experience Caesar, who charms us with his wit, intelligence, strength, and vitality. Having studied Latin and Ancient Rome, I was amazed not only at McCullough's thorough knowledge of her subject but even more by her ability to understand and depict the machinations of Roman politicians. American politicians are neophytes in comparison to the patricians and plebeians rising through the cursum romanum!
Caesar's Women is a book that you cannot put down, but also hate the thought of finishing, because it is that good. Having started in the middle of the series, I have now gone backwards and read Fortune's Favourites, which I also loved, especially the last part dealing with Caesar. But I have ordered all the other books in the series, which I will read this summer. I am sure, however, that I will return to Caesar's Women when I need a pick-me-up. Such a man as Caesar may only come once in a millenium, but we can experience him as often as we like in this superb novel.

4.0�toiles sur 5 Caesar's Rise, Avril 25 2004

Par	jrmspnc (Maryland, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Caesars Women Mm (Mass Market Paperback)

Another fine offering from McCullough, with a misleading title. This book is about Caesar and the Republic, not about "his women" who play a relatively marginal role at best. Oh, sure, we see a lot of Caesar's lover (and Brutus' mother) Servilia, mommy dearest Aurelia, and a near invisible wife or two, but none of them really factor into the novel, which focuses on Caesar's rise in the Republican heiarchy. Apart from Caesar, only Cicero receives extensive treatment, and McCullough's Cicero is an extremely well-rounded sort - all too human at times, both brilliant and insecure. The entire decade of the 60s BC is covered to fine effect, and if the ending (with "Caesar's women" finding out that Caesar has left to fight the Helvetii) is a tad (no, a lot) contrived, the novel remains well worth the time of anyone with an interest in Roman history.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Finally!, Avril 8 2004

Par	Emma de Soleil "I moved to the UK for another... (On a holiday In Ibiza, then back to the UK for studies) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Caesars Women Mm (Mass Market Paperback)

A fine historian said about Caesar that "It seemed so easy to describe this man which in fact is almost impossible to do!" Caesar was NOT a mad, blood-thirsty tyrant, nor was he just a warrior. Even his WORST enemies (Such as Cato) admitted that this luminous, remarkable genius was Rome's most prominent, gifted and fascinating son. Adored by women (If you don't believe McCullough consult historians such as Plutarch, Brandes, Suetonius, Grant etc.), cherished and beloved by his soldiers, revered by the people and respected, feared and never equalled by his enemies. This isn't just a slurpy love-novel, it's history coming to life, to this day the best description of Caesar's complex character in a novel. This is an INCREDIBLE book, NOT a romance-novel but a dead world resurfacing! FASCINATING!
