malaptica's review against another edition

adventurous emotional reflective medium-paced

• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

It really reads like she’s saying some people are ok with being slaves and slavery isn’t ALL bad and it ends on a hurrah for the Roman Empire, completely dashing all the prior work done in the book to critique imperialism. I hate this book! The movie is better.
