jenniferclaire's review against another edition
5.0
Do not read this unless you have seen the movie. The book gives away the ending. However this book was fantastic. It gives a good overview of a period of Roman history as well as explaining the inspiration behind movie makers. I enjoyed all of the parts of the book, costumes, special effects etc. At no point did it become too bogged down in movie jargon to understand. Great read to get people into reading non-fiction.
