review 1: Now this was a stellar read. A story told with all the sweeping, epic grandeur it deserves...and it's a wonderful compliment to Norman Cantor's volume on Alexander the Great. Cantor is concerned with the psychology and impact of Alexander as an individual, while Freeman concentrates on the life story that individual leads. Between the two volumes, you have everything you'll ever need to know about history's most ambitious & incredible warrior king. Truly satisfying.
review 2: This is a very good introduction to Alexander the Great and is packed with stories about him and the people around him who raised him, influenced him, warred with him and against him, etc.As good as this may seem, the writing is perfunctory. My eyes glaze from one page to another not q... moreuite sure if I've read the same sentence twice because it is in a sense written in a monotone.I would however still recommend this as it IS a difficult task writing about a figure in history so long ago and we can only learn about him through references through other eyes. This has been one of the better books I've read on Alexander, though. less
