Ah well, as long as it interested you in reading again! I don't think much of Pressfield's writing style, but if a book gets someone into reading again, hey, it's a good thing. Not enough people read books nowadays, in my opinion.
Sorry i should have qualified that a little better, if got me reading ancient history again! I have always read, modern military history, sci-fi, fantasy,
pretty boring at times, me... :roll:
But his writing style is pretty good...I noticed Rome followed his style by telling the story through the main character who was not the great figure of the time....an interesting technique!
Mind you, I would have been just as happy to see the story told the way Conn Iggulden did the Emperor series!
(Rome that is)Yes, Jef, Imperium is a good book!
