You definitely need to be very interested in Ancient Rome and August Caesar to make it through this book, or just be a huge history buff. It was really interesting but definitely a heavy read, and if you aren‘t 100% into it right off the bat with this one, you probably won‘t make it through it. I found it a bit tedious at times because I do not enjoy most historical things, but I do love a good biography and this one was fascinating in many ways.
