Summary: THE MOST BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN BOOK EVER!!!
Review: 15 STARS AND 10 THUMBS UP!!!! I am only 12 years old but am a very picky book critic. This is truly the most descriptive, yet lovely book, I have ever read with its passionate romances and day by day account of the Battle of Actuim. You may not take my word on this because I am only 12, but beleive me: THIS IS THE GREATEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN!!!!!All the while through this book, I was constantly thinking that I was Cleopatra in my other life because it all felt so real and it was like I was a living, breathing person right there with Caesar, Antony and Ocavian. I could have sworn I met Caesar or Antony before in my life because the book allowed you to plunge into the mind of Cleopatra and enabled you to meet Casar and friends. She was so lucky to have friends like Mardian and Olympos and I felt as though I had met them too. There was such good character development!!!!!!! I don't think I will ever get over this book!!!!!! Once I finished reading this 900+ pages book, I was so sad that my life with Cleopatra had ended and I had to get into my time machine and travel back to 1999. But I found a way that I could still live with Cleopatra!!!!!! Read the book again!!! So that is what I did and I am now reading it for the 3rd time. You may think that the story will just repeat and it will be boring but you have forgotten about all the facial expressions, descriptions of scenery, and conversations!! The book is like a new book every time I read it but I think I can blame that on my bad memory!!! Oh, if only there were a rating that was more than 5 stars, I would no doubtedly give it that!!!!

Summary: A wonderful piece of history
Review: This is the first Margaret George Novel, I have ever read and I must say that contrary to what I know I should do, I chose the book because of its interesting cover picture! I love to read historical pieces that actually have a story and plot to them, and this book is exactly that! In reading this book you learn so much about Cleopatra the legend and Cleopatra the person.

Summary: Barbie does Egypt
Review: True to the formula of a historical romance, this book skimms through history with extensive detail on clothing, furnishings, intrigue and romance. The historic part comes in last. A delightful and mindless read, good for a long plane ride or a summer at the beach with the kids.

Summary: Enthralling and Engrossing
Review: The content of this book is spectacular. As soon as I had read a page, this book grabbed my interest. I loved reading about Cleopatra's life, through her own eyes. I felt as if I was there with her and she actually did write the book. I would recommend this to anyone, for it is a very enjoyable book and a definate page turner. I could not stop reading it!

Summary: Boring and unconvincing
Review: I bought this book based on the many great reviews here. I was very disappointed. After the first 500 pages, I couldn't read anymore (very unlike me!) - the story was going nowhere - how many times can I read about a banquet! The dialogue between the characters was way too "20th century" & completely unconvincing.

Review: TOO STRANGE BAD IN MY OPINIO

Summary: Great Historical Fiction
Review: This book has done a wonderful job of painlessly educating me about Cleopatra and her relationship with Rome. Although the length may be quite daunting, the book moves quickly. I feel as though I know Cleopatra and truly yearn to know more. I flew through the last two hundred pages in anticipation for Anthony's heartbreaking defeat. All in all wonderful but may have been pared down by a few hundred pages.

Summary: A real page turner!!!!
Review: This was the best book I have read in years. It had every form of writing stlye all meshed into one great novel. (History, mythology, romance, suspense, horror) I highly suggest anyone with interest or not in the life of Cleopatra to read this book. Excellent! I have never read a Margaret George novel until I read this "Memoirs of Cleopatra". She now has a new fan.
