What a perfect introduction to the archaeology of Pompeii! An engaging and honest look at the town and its history. I have wanted to see Pompeii since I was a little girl and am finally going to have the chance in four weeks. I will know better how well this prepared me then. Review to follow . . .
FMI - AIDE MEMOIREYet another 5* flister result and I still haven't got around to even ordering this.Shame on me!
This was a fantastic book to read, full of stories, history and the city of Pompeii. Worth it for anyone interested in ancient Rome, and very well written. Five stars, and I'm not giving this one up either! For the complete review, please go here:http://www.epinions.com/review/Book_The_Fires_of_Vesu...
