For the Temple by G. A. Fitterling Henty
3.0
Not a bad book at all. It's a story based on a historical document about the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Jewish temple. The way it's written made me feel like I was reading the Old Testament, which is both bad and good considering the topic. It kept the action up and was easy to read.
The Cat of Bubastes: A Tale of Ancient Egypt by G.A. Henty
3.0
Pretty good book that lets you discover quite a bit about Ancient Egypt, if you can pull the fact from the fiction, and a generally nice story. The language makes reading this book a little tiring, but it was written quite a while ago so that's understandable. My only complaint is that I wish there was more character development, especially towards the end, where a romance that's never discussed is just suddenly presented to you.
