Critiques
Great Historical Document
John B. Stewart
Enjoyed this offering with really interesting historical information about a range of famous Roman Rulers. Would have liked a more expansive section on Julius Ceasar, who I thought was only given a reasonably brief coverage. And Caligula didn't even get a guernsy. But the readers for the most part did an excellent job retaining the listeners interest, except for the lady at the end who was a bit expressionless and the accent was difficult to understand.
Makes an excellent companion with their Famous Greeks book.
Epaminondas
Well written; More like a story than history.

This was a fun piece to listen to. Although it was historical it read more like fiction than anything. Most readers were pleasant. Good lessons to follow.

These stories sounds like fairy tales. Not a historian so not sure how accurate they are.

I want to be able to listen to the book but it won’t listen let me listen to it until I review it. Hard to review it if I can’t listen.
