WOW! If you have any interest in Cleopatra, ancient Egypt, Julius Cesar, Romans, intelligent women, manipulation, opulence, Marc Antony and an amazing story read this biograhpy! I listened to it on audio book. The only down side is I wished throughout I was reading a fictionalized novel based on acutal events researched for this amazing biography. I wanted more depth, more color, actual dialog, etc. to fill in the blanks in my imagination. That was not the author's intent in writing this bio, nor would it have been appropriate in this forum so I don't criticize. In fact, it's a compliment because Stacy Schiff has whetted my appetite for more about Cleopatra. I wonder if the epic Elizabeth Taylor/Richard Burton film is available on Netflix??? If anyone can recommend a good ficitionalized story about Cleopatra that is firmly rooted to the historical record, please let me know :)
