Last Days of Pompeii

Engrossing Story

(4 stars)

I found the story very engrossing - Book 5 was hard to "put down"! Well written, compelling story. The readers were acceptable (it's a group project), with no one too difficult to understand. I didn't really appreciate the special effects (echo voices) in the dream scene of book 5 chapter 1, but others might like it.

good thing that the the story was so enthralling and captivating since some of the readers were absolutely pitiful, to say the least

needs editing

it could be an exciting story, but it has too much padding. a modern editor would cut a quarter of it out. but the main problem is the different readers who pronounce the place names and the names of the characters differently. I struggled at times to understand who was being talked about because all the readers pronounce the names as they see fit. Why not agree in advance a common pronunciation for the characters and places?

Great book

This book turned out to be much more interesting than anticipated! The readers weren't terrible, for the most part. The special effects in Book 5, chapter 1 added interest. This book is definitely worth listening to, especially if you're a history lover like me. :)
