Review
"With a marvellous display of knowledgeable enthusiasm and a keen talent for compression, (Higgins) shows just precisely why the Greeks matter"

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant introduction to the ancient Greeks, 9 Nov 2008

By	J. H. Bretts "jerard1" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The author's enthusiasm for her subject is extremely infectious. She brings the ancient Greeks wonderfully to life, covering an awful lot of territory in a very short space.Thoroughly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent synopsis of ancient Greece, 5 Jun 2009

By	A. Theodossiadis "Alekos" (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Charlotte Higgins has produced an excellent enchiridion. It is readable, informative and thought-provoking. It encompasses the essentials of Greek history and culture. This would be valuable as an introduction to the topic, but it also provides new insights for those who are already informed.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Am At Least A Bit Greek, 22 April 2009

By	M. Fox - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It's All Greek to Me
Very unusual and interesting. You don't have to a classical scholar or, in fact, any sort of scholar to enjoy reading this thought provoking book. Charlotte Higgins uses an easily accessible style; she makes excellent use of modern expression and clear sentence structure and completely avoids any suggestion that the readeer is being patronised. The text is fascinating and the "Timeline" and "Who's Who" are very well chosen. This is an excellent read. Buy it and enjoy the experience that awaits.

2.0 out of 5 stars A good intro
Decent enough introduction to a rigidly classical classical Greece (almost exclusively fifth century) although not so memorable as to be with me only one month after reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's all Greek to Me
