Representaion Toward Books Kleopatra (Kleopatra #1)

Karen Essex's Kleopatra is definitely one of the best historical fiction novels I have ever read! The novel details Kleopatra's childhood and upbringing until she becomes queen at the age of 18, and continues on in a second novel titled Pharaoh, which I previously did not know existed until recently. Originally I had thought the novel was moving along too fast and was concerned that Essex would quickly detail Kleopatra's ruling and the marriage to her two husbands, so I was extremely pleased to learn there is yet more to come in the next book.

However, in this specific novel, I was glued to it from the get-go and hated to put it down for a break. The book went into extravagant detail about the Egyptian ways, and Essex did such a great job to bring in the reader without boring us with minute historical details or bragging about her knowledge of Kleopatra through her writing.

Of course Kleopatra is a spoiled child, but the reader grows to fall in love and respect her character and person as the book progresses. By the end when Kleopatra is named queen, we are excited for her to succeed and rule over her kingdom and people. I had originally purchased this book to learn more about Kleopatra, and have absolutely no regrets, as this book definitely educates as well as entertains.

I can't wait to read the next book in the series!

Comment On Regarding Books Kleopatra (Kleopatra #1)

Entertaining and interesting historical novel about the legendary queen of Egypt. The story opens with Kleopatra as a 3 year old, and I liked this approach at character development as the descriptions of her childhood show how she was raised to be a great intellect and ruler. Descriptive details about the ancient world made me want to learn more. I look forward to the next book, and more from Karen Essex.

I was at a gas station one day and was looking for a magazine to read when I found this book in a basket on the ground. I picked it up and figured why not. I loved this story and this is one of my favorite books. I loved how the story tied into history and painted a picture of a true time in history where knowledge was the center of the universe and people gathered for discovery. I love this story.

I have read both STEALING ATHENA and LEONARDO'S SWANS by Karen Essex and I am in the midst of her first novel, KLEOPATRA. I am loving it so far, even more than the other two. It may be the subject matter...there is just something about the way Karen has written about Egypt's last Pharoh that has made the dead come alive. I have finished the novel now, and I have not changed my mind. Soon I will dive into the sequel, PHAROH.

Couldnt drag myself through a book that takes itself seriously while presenting these caricatures of historical figures. The Ptolemaic court scenes were especially cringeworthy, I didnt realize official court events were supposed to be a TV show living room full of catty one-upping with all decorum flying out of the window. I guess that makes me bobo the fool. Will not finish.

This got off to a rough start, with Kleopatra as petulant three year old that cannot speak and a few months later expressing herself in the most mature speach, and ending with her as a young woman about to meet Cesar. The book focuses a lot on Berenike, her Amazon like sister and I found myself more interested in her than the book's heroine. One thing that ruins the story in places is the constant unflattering descriptions of the king, Kleopatra's father. He is always described at fat or

This book took me a REALLY long time to start to get into. I'd say, around a little more then half way through the book was when I finally felt some interst in actually finishing the book. It ended pretty abrubtly, but i guess thats why theres a second book called "pharoah". I'm more excited to start the second book! this was just kinda a slow starting story to kleopatras rule which is more in the second book.
