Reviews for Rome

• All roads lead to...Book rating: 5

  Being an avid reader of history, and in particular Roman and Italian history I thought that this would be worth my time, and how right I was. Intelligent, without being pretentious, no doubt down to his down to earth Oz roots, it covered from being to, well pretty much the end. A long period of history I hear you say to cover in 500 pages, but the author manages it admirably by focusing upon some of the persons and events, be they general, emperor, pope, artist or dictator who have helped to create this fascinating city that has without a doubt shaped our world as we know it. It has added to my knowledge and has like many a good book made me want to explore in more depth a particular person or event, more books ordered then. It was well written and presented and I have no hesitation in recommending it to you. Thoroughly enjoyable. by Karl Collicott
