Debi (USA: UT) (2008/03/05):
The author of this book has gone into factual detail quite thoroughly, and that is the only reason I kept reading the book.
It was a good book, and the last 50 pages were well worth the read!
However, if descriptive content dealing with sexual; content bothers you, be forwarned there are a few places that are a bit more descriptive than I was comfortable with.
lunar (Japan) (2009/11/14):
Everyone in western civilization knows how the book is going to end but anyway it's a great story. The novel is too contrived to be called brilliant, the occasional sudden change of point of view is a little jarring and one scene is quite shocking. But overall this is very professional, well-researched and enjoyable historical fiction. Using the idea of water supply and the matrix of aqueducts as the framework for the story worked really well too.
