"The best source of information on the Macedon and his people. Great insight how he shaped the world but also the greek civilization. The author does a great job of describing past events and the reader must determine how they still impact us today."
"I didn't finish this book because it wasn't what I was looking for. I was hoping for a basic narrative of Alexander the Great's life and battles. This book, though interesting, seemed to assume a famiarity with the subject matter that I just didn't have. I think the book probably contains some good insights, and it would probably be a good supplementary book. However, for me, it wasn't what I wanted."
"It is pretty basic, but manages to cover all the most important dates and what not. I felt myself wondering why I devoted time to this book, because it does not delve deep enough but pretends like it has. Oh well."
"Paul Cartledge is a very good writer, and Alexander the Great is a fantastic subject, so you can't go wrong with this one. There are better biographies, I've been told."
