He has also cut away a lot of the fat that tends to bog down stories about alexander making this a fastmoving lean novel that while not stylistically spare doesnt waste time dwelling on pointless details

The pacing is very good better than gates of fire actually and while the beginning is a tad slow once pressfield hits his stride at about page 50 its impossible to put the book down

Though a fiction work pressfield has incorporated quite a few historical facts thus rendering them vague between fiction or fact

It will easily fit as one of the top 100 fiction book written at the end of the 21st century
