Fire from Heaven [Mary Renault]

I think this is the longest it has taken me to read a book in a long time. Classes started and the book is a little complex and wordy. I liked it (4 stars, you know). this book is something that I have never read before, I've read historical books before, but I've never read one set in Ancient Greece, or in any Ancient civilization. I did know something about Alexander the Great before reading this book, but I didn't know anything about his parents or the rest of his family. this book was a nice look into the world of Alexander the Great and his childhood. I do want to read the other two books in this series, but I think I need a break from this series. it's good, but it's so complex.
