Format:Paperback
A wonderful book. I bought this book because I am fascinated by Alexander the Great. Actually although he does appear in the book it is not very much. Nevertheless this is a fascinating and funny book. It made me laugh out loud several times in spite of my being on the train. If you have read the solemn school of ancient history novel (the Mary Renault/Steven Pressfield type, good though they are) and are rather tired of them this is the book for you. His people are real, and for once I was actually able to imagine having lived then.

Format:Paperback
This book is fantastic; filled with vibrant characters and vivid imagery. However, the best feature is Tom Holt's dry, sardonic wit and the way it manifests itself through the thoughts, observations and conversation of the central character.
Format:Paperback
A must for anyone who thought Greek history was boring. This is much superior to Tom Holt's comedy/fantasy books. He makes the story of Alexander the Great really come alive, and immerses you in life in the ancient world. And it's hilarious.
