This book was very detailed and everything that I need to know about Cleopatra! She lived her life with wits, smarts, and probably beauty (since no one knows where she looks like). I want to know how she perfectly timed her pregnancies. If you are interested the life of Cleopatra, I would read this book. Also, the author seemed to have read everything on Cleopatra and reference a slew of authors, movies, and any form of literature attached to Cleopatra.
