Dewey Gram

When I watched the film for the first time, I was only fifteen and I thought that it was one of the best films I've ever watched. Since then, I have watched many films set in the times of the Roman Empire, but most importantly, I have read many non-fiction works about the era, which have altered my opinion of Ridley Scott's film. I still like it very much, mind you, but I have come to realise how crucially inaccurate it is. Still, the novelization by Dewey Gram is really good. His show more descriptions and the trasformation of the dialogue from the naked script to a novel are flowing and natural. I appreciated the fact that we are having so much more insight on Lucilla's character which, for me, was the most interesting of all. This is a novel I would appreciate and keep even if there wasn't a film to support it. show less

Eh, it had potential, I just missed that potential. Not the worst I’ve ever read but it could’ve been better.

A scientist in the USA loved to search about volcanoes and he had thoughts about Dante's peak that it was about to explode but his boss didn't agree with him. The scientist tried very hard to make people believed him and run away from there places which became very dangerous because of the volcanoes. I think that the book is good and I enjoyed my time while reading it.
