Hadrian's Walls Audiobook

" I've never read anything from the Roman occupation of England. This book seemed to do a good job of portraying both the Celtic and Roman cultures, as well as describing the wall that spanned Britian in that era. A Roman heiress is captured and becomes a part of the Celtic community. "

" Pretty good historical fiction about the clash of Roman imperialism and Celtic culture North of Hadrian's Wall in what is now Scotland. The romance between the Roman aristocrat daughter and the Celtic chieftain makes for a rousing story that brings the history to life. "

" An interesting historical fiction from ancient times. Nothing too spectacular, but definitely entertaining enough if you're looking for a fun and semi-educational read. It get's a 3.5 star rating from me. "

" Very well written. Adventure, deceit, mystery and intrigue combine to make a fast read. "

" Good historical fiction set in 3rd Century Britain. It is a story of love, betrayal and adventure set amidst the conflict between Romans and Celts along Hadrian's Wall, which was meant to separate the barbarians from the civilization of the time. "

" I read this a while ago because I trust Julia Smith's recommendations! I thought it was a good historical fiction book too. I didn't even know about 'the wall' before this! "

" Nice writing, but too much romance. Also, eventually, the overomaticized ancient Celtic way of life got to me. Sorry. "

" Mystery, war, love and history...all happening 1,700 years ago. "

" I enjoyed this book more and more as I read. The setting was very different than anything I had ever read and it was fun to learn about ancient Rome and Britannia I found the back and forth of the inquiry and then the actual events frustrating at first, but then fell into the rhythm. "

" Im a sucker for historical fiction... "

" Loved it, Dietrich's best work that I've read so far. The action was well plotted, the history was interesting, the description was adequate without being too dull, and there was so much going on that the reader is constantly uncertain of where loyalties lie. A really fun and captivating read. "

" I'm striking out here with a string of bad reading choices. This one is a period romance masquerading as a rollicking Roman military novel. Blech. "

" Not very interesting to me. Rushed through the last predictable part. "

" A bit slow, but the historical subject matter is fairly interesting. "

" Meh. Not bad, but too romance-laden for my taste. I mean, I'm all for hunky barbarians with modern sensitivity to sexual equality and an amazing ability in the sack - I'm just not sure I believe in them historically. "

" I got a little more than halfway through this book and realized I just don't care how it ends or what happens to its characters. It's not bad, just not gripping. "

" Not very interesting - plods along at a pedestrian pace. All too predictable. Shame, because I've really enjoyed his writing in the past. Stay away from this one, though. "

" The story is just so-so but I gave it a 4 because of the historical aspect of the Celts, which I found very interesting. "
