"finally finished. It took me ages to read it. I only have a few words to say, Cut it, people! There was lots of unimportant stuff there. Same parts were interesting and some parts I couldn´t get through. Maybe I wasn´t in awe about the book because I already read two books set in the same era, Quo Vadis and There´s no Roman people, and I liked them much more."
"A great fictional look at Rome during Nero's youth, rise to power, and death. I was glad to see that Waltari's protagonist isn't as much of a hopeless Quixote here as in the Wanderer books. What was most interesting was that this time period is a couple decades after the death of Christ and you see the frusteration the Romans have with these "confused Jews" and the squabbling that went on between the early Christians. I was surprised at how flipant Romans were on assasination and adultery."
"i really enjoyed this book, much more than i thought i would and much more than my last waltari book. maybe it's because i felt a little more familiar with roman history than turkish history. at any rate, the story was compelling and i couldn't put it down."
