Cleopatra: Goddess of Egypt, Enemy of Rome 4 reviews
Polly Schoyer Brooks
HarperTeen, 1995
Egypt vs Rome
If I don't like a book than I just don't like it. I won't read it and no one can make me. With a book I like you can't get it away from me. I don't know how many times I've been up to 2:00 am reading under the covers. With this book I was up till 4:00 am reading under the covers because I couldn't wait to turn the page and see what was going to happen next. This book takes a woman who knew what ...

The Alexandrian: A novel5 reviews
Martha Rofheart
Crowell, 1976
Excellent use of History and fiction.
This book is well written and weaves a mixture of history and fiction together so well that you can't tell where one ends and the other starts. The book is told from Cleopatra's point of veiw and descibes her loves and losses very well. It makes you feel like you are there living all of her adventures with her. The ending is very touching. The cover is beautifully done with a drawing of ...

Cleopatra Records, 2003
Long Live Glam!!!!!!!
Great Pictures of some of the great forgotten bands of the 80s. This book is a must for people who lived or was in a band through the era and for people who would love to know more on those underground Glam Sleaze Bands. Well worth it.

Cleopatra of Egypt: From History to Myth.3 reviews
Princeton University Press, 2001
Great resource for Cleopatra
If pressed, I'd almost say that this is the single best book on Cleopatra. Granted, there are critical biographies, historical accounts, and all sorts of other sources, but this massive book is unique in that it shows nearly every sculpture, coin, or papyrus that can be tied directly to Egypt's last independent ruler. Its fascinating to finally see how Cleopatra presented herself to her ...

Antony and Cleopatra (Arkangel Complete Shakespeare)2 reviews
William Shakespeare
Audio Partners, 2005
Excellent dramatization of one of Shakespeare's best
I have just finished listening to Antony and Cleopatra and cannot speak highly enough of this fine recording. The acting is as good or better than any of the stage productions I've seen and the scenes between Antony and Cleopatra crackle with sensuality (although I did wonder how they make the kissing sounds). This is the first of this series I've listened to, but I plan to go through the ...

Chicken Pox Fun
This book is about a mother who stays home with three boys while they have the Chicken Pox. She tells them an amazing story about when she was 11 and played at the beach with her cousins and a mysterious girl named Hillary. The author made me feel like I was right there watching them.

The Reign of Cleopatra2 reviews
Greenwood Press, 2004
The last of so many noble rulers...
Cleopatra was an enigma in her own time, and has remained so throughout two thousand years of subsequent history. As the Elizabeth Taylor film about Cleopatra concluded, she 'was the last of so many noble rulers.' In fact, she represented the close of several chapters of history - she was the last of the Ptolemiac line to rule Egypt, the last of the independent ruler/monarchs or pharoahs, and ...

White Sea: Poems2 reviews
Cleopatra Mathis
Sarabande Books, 2005
Extraordinary
Mathis is a poet from Dartmouth, whose students I am constantly encountering in the NH Seacoast poetry scene. She is as superb a poet as she is a teacher. This volume grew from the loss of a close personal friend to cancer but it is not a whiny grief. It's the sort of grief that immediately establishes the the reader's camaraderie with the author as she examines the artifacts of a particular ...

The Cleopatra Papers: A Private Correspondence2 reviews
Jack Brodsky, Nathan Weiss
Simon and Schuster, 1963
Hilarious gossip on Liz Taylor and Richard Burton!
"Cleopatra" was the most expensive film of all time to produce, (allowing for inflation). For Joseph L. Mankiewicz and his studio, it also turned into a huge, out-of-control nightmare. Still, it's one of the great epic films to ever grace the silver screen.
But here, we have the correspondence between the two top marketing guys for Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation while the film was ...

Ozzy Osbourne: The Story of the Ozzy Osbourne Band (Rockdetector)2 reviews
Garry Sharpe-Young
Cleopatra Records, 2002
The Best Book About Ozzy Yet
Garry Sharpe-Young's book about Ozzy is an essential read for anyone who is interested in learning about the people and personalities that passed through Ozzy's band from the early 80s to the present day. Although the author's writing is a little choppy at times, and there is the occasional printing error (e.g., there is a page missing as the book transitions from pg. 79 to pg. 80, because a ...

Cleopatra (Life & Times)2 reviews
Prudence Jones
Haus Publishers Ltd., 2006
A Fresh Look at Cleopatra
I highly recommend Cleopatra The Last Pharaoh by Prudence Jones. If you're looking for a balance interpretation of Cleopatra's life based on the ancient sources and the author's insight into the propaganda that was influential in that day this book is for you. This is not the story of a sexual alluring one dimensional Cleopatra. This Queen is multidimensional and smart. Another plus for the book ...
