WarpDrive's Reviews > Spartacus

I had to stop reading it half way through.
While reasonably well written from a purely stylistic standpoint, sadly it does reflect an ideologically driven, deeply disingenuous and almost comically anti-historical approach to the period, where the Roman Republic and its main representatives are monochromatically depicted as unfailingly corrupt, ruthless, sexual degenerate and cruel, while Spartacus is represented almost as the roman-period translation of some kind of highly idealized, pure-hearted Che Guevara hero of a not so subtly-concealed Marxist tinge.
I do not have time for this kind of propaganda disguised as historical fiction.
