The Virtues of War: A Novel of Alexander the Great Audiobook

" In is OK, but way too much detail about the battles. "

" Once again, I was tricked into reading this after having read Gates of Fire. Evidently Pressfield is destined to be a "one hit wonder." "

" A great book for anyone who likes historical fiction :) "

" Imao sam osecaj kao da sam tamo...toliko dobro :) "

" Slow to start, great finish. "

" So far an interesting and educational book on a great historical figure. Good read, detailed, hardly any gay stuff (good!), great imagination. "

" Good book about Alexander the Great. You'll enjoy this if you like Gates of Fire and Vice-Versa. "

" I found this book surprisingly easy to read. The author's prose went well together, and told a story of Alexander the Great as seen by his friend. Interesting insight into this great king. "

" So far...this is GREAT! But then again, so is everything by Steven Pressfield! "

" Good, but just not as good as "Gate of Fire." "

" Haven't read any other books on Alexander, but this one was good. Again, great historical research from Pressfield (and his sources) and a compelling story to boot. Didn't quite grab me the same way as Gates of Fire. "

" As usual a great read from a great author... Pressfield's ability to delve into the mind of history's great heros is impressive and well received... I look forward to my next purchase of a Pressfield book for my library "

" I own this amazing book. It opens the world of Alexander the Great like nothing else I have ever read. "

" Solid historical fiction that attempts to look inside the thoughts and actions of one of antiquity's greatest conquerors. "

" Not as good as Gates of Fire or other books about Alexander, but still a good read for Alexander fans. "

" Loved reading about Alexander from Alexander's perspective. The writing is so lucid, it makes you feel part of the war councils and seemingly gives you a ring side view of the battles. "

" I was interested in reading about Alexander The Great. This gives a good overview of his battles and his approach to life and war. I didn't really enjoy it but I learned something. "

" Book club book selection for May. I don't love war. I don't love history. I despise stories of geography. The combination of all this and it was all I could do to complete 50 pages (my rule for book club books). "

" Good read, and it really gives you an understanding for Alexander as a man, but I found the battle scenes to be uninspired. "

" Greatest story ever told about Alexander the Great, and my absolute favorite Pressfield epic. "

" Pressfield is incredible at bringing history to life. There are minor "enhancements", places where he needed to change the facts so the story would flow better, but overall he's a pleasure to read. "

" Not as good as Gates of Fire, but a great read nonetheless. "

" Very Dry and very boring "

" Completely loved this book. Just outstanding, particularly for the period detail and the meticulous attention to the mechanics of the strategy and tactics of the era. "

" Tell you later. Not yet finished reading this fine novel about Alexander the Great's military exploits. "

" So far an interesting and educational book on a great historical figure. Good read, detailed, hardly any gay stuff (good!), great imagination. "

" Awesome book about ancient battle, from the viewpoint of one of history's most well known and greatest conquerers. Not that I love war, or anything, but I learned a lot from this historical fiction. Pressfield does his homework. I'll probably pick up another one of his books. "

" Historical fiction of Alexander the Great. enough said. "
