Incredibly researched and organizational structure given the subject occurred 2000 years ago, yet dull. No life to this biography, flat words on a page.

The beginning surprised me with its information and engaging nature. I took a couple classes on Roman history and expected to be merely reminded of what I learned, but instead I learned a lot. Unsurprisingly, much of what I learned were specific details my professors glossed over to cover more general concepts. For example, I never knew Caesar had epilepsy or that he had a long-standing affair with Brutus' mother. Battle formations were covered in detail with illustrations to match. At first I was surprised at how quickly I was getting through the book, but towards the end, when I was more familiar with the events, I just wanted to be finished.

Incredibly detailed and fascinating look at Caesar and the fall of the Roman Republic. Provides an analysis of the events that caused Caesar to become the man he was, and the changing of the times that lead to the creation of the Roman Empire.
