I have been looking for such a well researched nonfiction book about Pompeii for a long time. And here it is.
The book talks about the ancient city of Pompeii, how and what was found in the ruins of the city after the eruption of Vesuvius. How the Pompeiins lived, what they ate, how they did their trades and how they spent their leisure time, you will find it all in this book. I throughly enjoyed each and every chapter of this book. The only thing that made me take away a star is because of repitions.

Anyone who enjoys the ancient city accounts must read this one. Can't wait to read the other books by the author.
