I really like these diary novels of various people. But this one wasn't as good as others. The nod to Christianity was rather unnecessary and inaccurate. As well as Cleopatra being incredibly self absorbed at how perfect she was making this not very enjoyable for a diary entry in the series. A pity, as I do so enjoy Egypt and its history. One star rounded up for nostalgia.

I loved this book when I was like 11, so much so that I still own it and intend to keep it forever, but did anyone ever notice just how
Spoilercreepy Mark Antony is?
Anyone ever tell you that's creepy?
Like, dang man, you're like almost thirty and she's literally half your age, and is going through puberty, so can you refrain from flashing her and drunk kissing her in the darkness? That's literally sexual harrassment, not romantic.
that's messed up
I know this is supposed to be like, pseudo-historical, but could they have made her a little bit older? Even 18 would have been better, so it isn't so pervy. Or since this is a book for children, they could have, idk not written that storyline?

Other than that, I loved this book and still read it sometimes just to feel nostalgic.
