Rufus

review 1: c FWFTB: 43AD, imperial, elephant, Britain, Rome. I am not such a fan of this second book in the Rufus series. There was a lot more fighting in this book together with detailed battle plans. I certainly seemed to get bogged down two thirds of the way in. Not sure if I will remember any part of this book in a month or two. By the end of the book, I really didn't care about any of the characters at all. This was an audio book so perhaps it was more that narrator and accents employed that was this issue rather than the words or story itself.
review 2: Amazing! Somehow Jackson makes it possible to sympathize with both sides in this epic tale about the conquest of Britain... he creates characters that are both noble and faulted, at the same time. He has peppered th... moree novel with vividly detailed battle scenes and the characters I have come to love and respect from 'Caligula' (Jackson's first book in this series) have finally reached their full potential in this novel. less
