Avoid this book for the disrespect that it shows to Cleopatra in treating her beliefs and history as disposable. I'm frustrated that the author is apparently able to deal respectfully with the religious beliefs of Jews, Lutheran Christians, Eastern Orthodox Christians, Catholic Christians, and Protestant Christians, and yet she cannot allow an ancient pagan her beliefs, preferring to shred them and remake them in a more "palatable" version.
YOU GO GIRL. Okay, it's ridiculous, and I highly doubt the historical accuracy, but... it made me laugh. ALSO, I love that she mentions cutting off his ear, because it refers back to when Cleopatra saw Cicero giving one of his famous speeches in court, about a girl who'd cut the ear off a man who was trying to strangle her:
The pageantry worked. “The moment he saw her, Antony lost his head to her like a young man,” he Greek historian Appian wrote.

She keeps saying that she wants to be a better ruler than her father yet we don't see her thoughts about how to fix the mistakes of her father or from her sisters being pharaoh. She doesn't think of the people who are out to kill her or the consequences that affect her people from such poor kings and queens check here before her. Or at least, not from the diary.
