A review by tynareads
Imperium: A Novel of Ancient Rome by Robert Harris

3.0

The book was a solid read until the last 10%. I felt the pacing of the book was quite repetitive at times:

1. Cicero is challenged
2. Cicero prepares
3. Cicero wins

And this repeats around 4 times in the book which towards the very end becomes predictable and a little boring.

I love Harris as a writer and therefore it’s still an enjoyable 3 stars, I just didn’t think it’s his best work.
