it was ok
bookshelves: historical-fiction

This book was just okay for me. I liked the historical side of this. I have always found this story kind of 'sadly fascinating'. I just didn't find 'that' in this book. This wasn't particularly character driven. There was a problem with the water plaguing the area and it focused mainly on that without giving depth to the characters. There was a lot time and detail that went into this problem, but I needed that same attention to detail regarding the people. The historical part felt well done; the fiction part just didn't grab me.

Sonja Arlow I have only read A Day of Fire: A Novel of Pompeii and loved it but not sure I will read more about this historic event.


Donna This one didn't grab me.
