I liked it!

I was pretty surprised to see that the other review of this book was so negative. Jack Lindsay's book "Cleopatra" was one of the first I read in my study of ancient history, and I found it wonderful. It is vry readable, although to the non-expert, it might be an idea to read Cicero's "Phillipics" and Plutarch's "Lives" before tackling this. It is enjoyable, interesting, insightful and thoughtful. Lindsay is something of a leinient historian however, which I personally think is in his favour though the harsher reader may not agree with me! Read, enjoy, and review, giving Lindsay back his good name!
