    Just got this for a summer beach reading. I have found it had put down. You can see it could be a future movie, base on a real traveling author who developed her book as a fictional mystery taking place in sites being visited going up the Pacific Coast in camping RV.

    It felt like I was reliving history as I read it. I just wanted to mention there is a period missing on page 524. It's indicated by the capital T without a period before it. Mr. Abbot did a great job retelling Alexander's story, with vivid detail so you felt like you were really there.

    This is a simple, but well done version of Alexander the Great's life. Some of the phrasing may seem odd to us today, but at the time of the authors writing, it was very well said.

    I could not get through this book at all and needed to put it down. The language was too flowery and adolescent!

  • Not well written

    Poorly written book. I've read many books on Alexander the Great and this was the least informative one I've read. The author dedicated many pages of this book to his own opinions of Alexander and much less to the actual facts and exploits of Alexander. Would not read again.
