Book Reviews of Rome

Book Review: Not what I expected.
Summary: 2 Stars

The television series was incredible. Excellent writing, perfect casting (and that is an understatement), stunning visuals. The book? Meh. I was thinking it was going to have a lot of behind the scenes stories, maybe some story boards, set design drawings, photos of directors interacting with the cast, actor backgrounds, and so forth. The book is mostly nice images from the series, and that's pretty much it. There are a couple of pages of costume designs, a page or two of a couple of sets, but it's mostly photos taken while filming.

Summary of Rome

Rome is the most lush, vibrant, and enveloping experience on television. Equal parts love, betrayal, lust, and battle, the hit HBO series tells of the eternal quest for power, from Caesar crossing the Rubicon to his assassination to Cleopatra's arrival in Rome. Packed with more than 100 full-color images, commentary from the cast and creators, and a comprehensive episode guide, this stunningly beautiful book reveals the incredible, panoramic scope of Rome's vision and explores its interplay between history and an imagined world.
