Cleopatra Confesses (utgåvan 2011)

This book is like a good way to read history. If your into history but fiction books bore you, then this book is just right for you. It tells you what happen to Cleopatra and her life from age 10 till she dies a queen. Although, it very unique it it's ways that it makes you want to read it. Carolyn Meyer is a brilliant writer.

I love historical fiction, so I really enjoyed this book. It's a pretty straightforward story covering Cleopatra's younger years. Now, I cannot speak for the authenticity of it, but it seemed plausible to me. I could be completely wrong. However, it's clear the author did her research. It gave the book a very real feel. The details and look into everyday Egyptian life in that time period were so interesting.

I found that young Cleopatra came off a bit too precocious to me. That didn't take away from my enjoyment of the book though. If was a fun read, and it can definitely get people more interested in history. It holds your attention through a well-known story. I would recommend this book for sure.
