It also fits information about Hannibal into the story without seeming like a bland history book. I think it is worth reading.

Very Unimpressive
A historical novel which is pretty flat and unimpressive throughout. It is set in Carthage, c. 219 BC as a young Hannibal is making his march on Rome.

Very Unimpressive,

This review is from: A Spy for Hannibal: A Novel of Carthage (Hardcover)
A historical novel which is pretty flat and unimpressive throughout. It is set in Carthage, c. 219 BC as a young Hannibal is making his march on Rome. The title and copy made me think it would be more of a thriller, rather than the weak soap-opera it turned out to be. There is a bit to be learned about the customs and manners of Carthage, but the plot is so silly I don't advise spending your time on this book. It relies on one unbelievable coincidence after another--much like Melrose Place, only without the verve. Steer clear.
