Assess About Books Claudius (Rufus #2)

Another very enjoyable read though not quite as good as Hero of Rome.

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 the 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.

Being a bit of a geek when it comes to all things Roman, I read Douglas Jacksons first book Caligula and thoroughly enjoyed it not just becasue of the subject but becasue it was different. Rufus the Emperors Elephant trainer is the main character and in this book he returns as the llegions invade Britain.Claudius is another very good and well written story that captivated me from the first page. It reflects some of the history that occured especially with the Emperors two week visit to Britain,

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

Not in the same league as Scarrow. The tale is from the perspective of Rufus, keeper of the Emperor's war elephant. OK tale but a bit laborious and doesn't quite get the period to feel right

This was alright but I imagine this is something I will forget about fairly quickly. Don't get me wrong I liked the main character Rufus but I couldn't help thinking about Macro and Cato from Simon Scarrow's The Eagles series, they did this battle also and they did it better. I won't be looking for the others in the series.
