Welcome to Litsy!

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.
This is day 149

Decided to watch sone classics during my Easter Break. Started with Kirk Douglas‘ Spartacus today.

#SoaringScores #NowWeAreFree Pinched this title from Google but I recall my hubby reading this book a few summers ago.
It actually sounds fascinating and Gladiator is such an epic film 🎞

This is the second of two books about the Slave rebellion in Ancient Rome led by Spartacus. I love Ben Kane‘s books, and even better when read by Michael Praed. This is an excellent, but sad, story as thanks to the Kirk Douglas film we all know Spartacus eventually is killed. This makes for a bitter sweet ending to the book but still recommend the books. I AM SPARTACUS!!!
Thanks to @Melissa_J for initially introducing Ben Kane to me. 😍

This was the first part of the Spartacus story, made famous by the truly classic 1960 film starring Kirk Douglas and so many other Stars of the time. Can't wait to get to the second book telling the second part of the story. I loved this book and the whole story - Ben Kane does know how to tell a terrific story, although long he kept me gripped. If you enjoy Roman Fiction do give him a try - Read and enjoyed The Forgotten Legion & Hannibal series.

Time to return to some Historical Fiction, so thought I'd return to one of my favourite authors, Ben Kane. Read and really enjoyed the Hannibal Trilogy and The Forgotten Legion Trilogy. I would certainly recommend the Ben Kane books if you like Roman period books, if you want somewhere to start off I would suggest The Forgotten Legion Trilogy. Will be interested to see how Spartacus compares to the classic film!
I am Spartacus! #Historicalfiction

Good book. It' not the same like TV show. TV show is better. #spartacus #goodbook #history
