This is an old book that my dad picked up from the charity shop because I am doing about Egyptians at school, so you might not be able to find it in a new book shop, or maybe not even in a museum.

I really liked this book because there are so many details about Cleopatra's life, and you even get to see her diaries. But there is way too much snogging in it, and tantrums. There are loads of facts in it, but it is also kind of the story.

I liked finding out that Philip Reeve did the illustrations for this book, before this I only knew that he wrote books and not drew them.

This book is like a Horrible Histories book but is much better. I'm not being mean to Horrible Histories, it is just that it has more story, is bigger and had more facts.
