Baron Edward Bulwer Lytton Lytton : The Last Days of Pompeii before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised The Last Days of Pompeii:

I have read it four times and have yet to tire of this story. The antagonist is a truly menacing villain and the plot is rife with subplots driven by basic human emotion of both virtue and vice. All this set to a well documented tragic event in human history makes this a riveting read. Advice: push through the chapter on Ancient Greek/Roman architecture, the only slow part of the story.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great book. Great edition.By DiogenesLoved this book as a child. Great story as a story -- and it's set against the backdrop of Pompeii and its impending destruction when Vesuvius erupts. The whole family is enjoying it anew -- or for the first time for the children.This is a beautiful edition, with a set of color plates from Pompeii at the beginning.Highly recommended.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Sloppy packagingBy Pilar ReynoldsThe book story itself, as well as this edition, are fine. But the packaging was sloppy and careless, to the extent that the gummy flap of the envelope was stuck to the cover and some pages, impossible to remove without damaging it. Since the book was meant to be a gift, this was disappointing.
