With a translation by Anthea Bell, I was expecting a well-written book and I certainly wasn't disappointed. This is a fascinating, detailed, look at the life and achievements of Augustus.
I have learned an awful lot and am glad that I persevered through some of the heavier sections of the book.

An overall very informative and balanced overview of the life of Augustus. Though the language is almost definitely too heavy for the casual reader, I would 100% recommend it for any classicist who wants to delve a little deeper into the subject (or simply refresh their memory).
