4.0 out of 5 stars Claudius the God - the real fiction, 26 Sep 2003
This review is from: Claudius the God (Hardcover)
Although this book is basically accurate, or as accurate as anybody can make it, it suffers from the usual "politics" of today in that it does not reveal the Emperor Claudius and his family in all their horrific glory, probably because that would put it in the pornography section or get it banned as a sick obscenity.
Claudius admits to some frailties and obscenities but the reality is several times greater than what we are invited to read. It is an entertaining first person work of fiction and - to tell the truth - I would not really want to know the rest of what went on as it would spoil both the storyline and the empathy with the character. As it stands it is one of those books one can come back to again and again and still get something new from it each time.
I recommend it to you as a good piece of fiction.
