Pride of Carthage Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Pretty good, if you enjoy historical fiction. "

" This was an interesting read. I enjoyed every page. "

" Too be honest, this was one of the first books i actually bought and read without it being required by a professor. In addition, i have always been curious about the Roman Empire and its military. This book will give you some sense of just that. "

" An excellent dramatization of the most famous Barca and his exploits. Excellent research was conducted to keep the historical details as accurate as possible for this genre (Historical Fiction). "

" I loved this book...it took me a long while but I attribute that to me more than anything else. When I finished, I felt as though I still needed an update on characters in the story...I wanted to know how they felt...what they did? Not often do I find this kind of connection. "

" Well written novel about the real exploits of one of the greatest generals of all time. Kind of like "Killer Angels" BCE. He waged war against Rome and in Italy for 15 years! A lot more to him than just elephants. "

" My enjoyment of this book probably would have been greatly enhanced had I had the historical background to go along with it. Nonetheless, good historical fiction, well-written, but not an easy read by any means (many different storylines going that took some concentration....) "

" Durham is just great at making history come alive. "

" A good narrative with language that flows well. Even in one of the few boring parts of the book, the plot tends to move forward and keeps the reader interested. It is definitely fictional history, but with some decent non-fictional value. "

" Loved it. Not for everyone. Historic fiction. Both my father and I finished it in under a week. "

" I loved this! The story of the Second Punic War from the POV of the Barcas and those close to them is something that you see so rarely...it's quite a nice refreshing change after all the Roman writings on the Punic Wars...where History has been written by the Victors... "

" Enjoyed this more than I thought I would. Very well done, but still more battle scenes that I like to read. It was interesting to read about Hannibal and his family in a very human light. "

" I'm a history geek and even though the book is fiction, I felt that I was with Hannibal through all of his victories. The writing is vivid and the battle scenes are as intense as those in Ridley Scott's Gladiator. "

" This was a really interesting book, I have read a lot of books about the same time period but they were all told from the side of the Romans. It was neat to read about another group of people. "

" Really good read, but the way it ended was sad. :( "

" been wanting to read this for long time, enjoyed it was sad to finish it "

" If ennui is your aim in historical fiction, try this book. I'd like to sue the author for my time. "
