Review of The Thrifty Guide To Ancient Rome

The Thrifty Guide To Ancient Rome: A Handbook for Time Travelers
Author: Jonathan W. Stokes
Publisher: Penguin Books
Date of Publication: January 2018
From my seventh grade perspective, this book was engaging, interesting, and fun to read. It explores multiple aspects of Ancient Rome, from Cleopatra’s life all the way to what “fast food” at that time would be like. It is a good way to learn, if you are okay with losing a few details to dry humor. To summarize, I found it to be an engaging book even though some historical detail and subtlety is traded for a laugh and an easier read.
