this was a disappointing read after expecting something more.there are too many "americanisms" such as "mom" and i feel the detail is short and would be better suited to a 2nd form reader at High school. it is such a short book to cover such a massive piece of history, sorry.

When I saw the title of this book, I immediately ordered it, expecting at least something more substantial and factual with better descriptions of the locale and action. I was very disappointed at the brevity and lack of significant detail. The author should have let her characters speak and act for themselves, rather than the descriptions, based on the Zodiac, which I doubt the Iceni used. I wish this had been a better book as I really love Queen Boudica and what she tried to do for her people.

Boudica is someone that everyone should know about. There is too little known about her and Miss Sosebee's book helps fill in some of the gaps. Although it is only 100 pages, I still recomend it for those that wish to try and understand a certain part of world history that cannot be ignored. Boudica truly was an amazing woman.

I did not realize this book was only 109 pages when I purchaced it but I was very impressed with the content. Ms. Sosebee brings to light the true nature of the conflict between the early Britons and the Roman Empire. A great but short read on Queen Boudica.

This book is a great example and display of the events of these trying times women had in the past! Marlene truly has a talent in writing and I will be patiently waiting to indulge myself in her next piece!

Marlene captures this dark period in history with elegance! A period in history when women have once again overcome man and his cruelity towards them!

The author captures a period in time that sadden me. A period in history when men did not consider a woman there equal but rather beneath them. Her book tells us that as women we can overcome!! Thank you Marlene for a great lesson in history!
