This book surprised me. I thought it was just okay for the first half or so, and the device of different narrators for each chapter flirted with becoming annoying. But then you started knowing those different characters as the narrators reoccurred and it drew you in. In the end it is as magnificent a portrait of the complex character that was Alkibiades as I have seen.
