2.0 out of 5 stars Not one for the layman!, 27 Aug 2008

By	Nigel Davies (UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Hadrian's Wall (Penguin History) (Paperback)

I bought this book, as like many people, I was setting out to walk the wall and thought a bit of background reading would make my journey more pleasurable. The synopsis gave the impression that this would be accessible to just about anyone. I have to tell you that I was only able to make it to page 112. It could and should have been more interesting but there were just too many statistics: "The forward ditch measured 5 feet (1.5m) across and 2 feet 8 inches (0.8m) deep; it had been recut twice. The rear ditch measured 6 feet 6 inches (1.9m) across by 2 feet (0.6m) deep. A mile on, by tower 2b, only one ditch was found. It was 3 feet 6 inches (1.1m) wide............" aaarrgghh and so it goes on; mind numbingly dull. In beween the statistics however, there were some very interesting facts and I did learn quite a bit about Roman life on the wall. It was just that you had to wade through a pile of statistics, which were instantly forgotten before you came to the good bits. I can't fault the authors on their research; it's incredibly thorough. I just wish the book could have been a lot shorter than its 250 pages (before the appendices)sans stats and maybe then I could have finished it and learnt a lot more to boot.

3.0 out of 5 stars Authoritative, but not fun, 23 Aug 2009

By	Anthony K. Divey (Hertfordshire, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Hadrian's Wall (Penguin History) (Paperback)

If you need a relatively short book to impart the essential details of the purpose, building and use of Hadrian's Wall then start here. It covers the Antonine Wall too and also has a (fairly unnecessary) chapter on the Roman Army. It combines detailed and authoritative information with an economic written style which makes it a relatively quick read. However, it's not a fun read - ultimately rather dry and passionless. It's not a guidebook either, although to be fair it never sets out to be one. In the paperback version the maps are too small.

Probably one for the student (or teacher).

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic text, 18 Feb 2009

By	Ben Kane (Nr Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Hadrian's Wall (Penguin History) (Paperback)

My reason for posting this is that I wanted to add some balance to the previous review. This book might indeed be weighty, but it is a truly authoritative text on Hadrian's Wall and is indispensable for anyone who wants in depth information on the wall. I found it excellent and have read it cover to cover twice.
