This book really made me want to watch Gladiator again, and later 300 (Greek, Roman close enough). True to Roman style, this book is very violent. It's the story of 3 men and a woman--all slaves or at least not in control of their own lives. Two are gladiators--one was a warrior taken captive from Gaul (present-day France). Despite the description of him being blonde with pigtails (I know) I can't help but picturing Little John from BBC's Robin Hood series (AgentPaper knows who I'm talking about). My one complaint is that no one bothered to mention the fact that it's part of series! That explains why the ending wasn't a real ending! It was Fellowship of the Ring all over for me. Yet despite that, it was quite a journey.Tuesday, March 31, 2009
