A great book for a beginner who knows nothing about the Queen of the Nile。 It is an informative and comprehensive look at her life。 Is the best written? Is it going to end up as a scholarly resource? Definitely not。 The language is mostly over simplistic and sometimes even amateurish, which is why I think it is great for a beginner level enthusiast, but not necessarily a history buff。 A quick read for sure。
