Cleopatra by Stacy Schiff, 304 pages


I love biographies, so I was very excited to see this new one about Cleopatra. Unfortunately, this falls short of my expectations. This presented facts in a very dry way, more educational than entertaining. I prefer my biographies to be able to hold my attention, so I will enjoy the novel while learning. There are much better biographies of Cleopatra, so I don't recommend this.
