Summary: ALL HAIL DISCOVERIES SERIES!
Review: I expected this to be filled with necessary facts about the famous feminine pharaoh. Alas! It is JAM-PACKED with facts and stunning paintings, pictures of artifacts, references to related literary materials, commnetary from famous scientists, archaeologists, etc. It's a mystery to me how they managed to fit it all in this small pocket size book. You can page through it, or read it page by page. Either way it's an easily digestible biography.

I read this alongside Margaret George's 'Memoirs of Cleopatra' and it helped me follow the dramatic events and verify their validity.

The Discoveries Series covers almost any historical topic (anthropology, famous artists, explorers, scientists, myths & legends, astrology, signs & symbols). Here are more of my favorites: Beethoven, Ancient Egypt, Leonardo Da Vinci, Vampires, The Sun, Vikings. To find these titles on Amazon just type "discoveries series" at the browser.

Summary: great book on cleopatra
Review: this was a great book on cleopatra. there is so much info. pages 113 to 151 are filled with documents. this book is not only filled with lots of good info but it has lots of pictures as well, at least one on every page. this book also gives you an overview on rome, but does not take away from cleopatra. it gives you just enough info on rome so that you will understand all the things around cleopatra. if you are interested in ancient egypt or cleopatra you should get this book. i bet you are asking why the 4 stars, well this book is very small it is a little bigger than 5 by 7. and the words are alittle hard to read. if the book would have been bigger it would have got five stars.
