I gave this book up as a bad job. I usually don't throw in the towel so easily, however, there was so much speculation in this supposed biography that I could not stand it. As I have stated before, I love all things to do with Egypt, and Cleopatra is as mysterious as it gets; but this author operated mostly in conjecture and guess-work. I'm all for a biography, but when there is no evidence of character traits of a person (who BTW, lived over 2,000 years ago), it is very difficult to read someone's "idea" of who a person was.
