I find it amazing how an author can fictionalize the lives of Aristotle, King Philip, and Alexander, his son after reading histories of this time period and biographies of these men. I enjoyed reading this book, more to see what life could have been like in those times than to find out about the lives of Aristotle or his student, Alexander, who happen to be the vehicles for this discovery. The book is easy to read and, like a life, has no plot except to detail what happens in Aristotle's life during a certain time period....work, play, leisure, family, households, food, friends, relatives, entertainment, problems, successes, failures, housing, pleasures, deaths, diseases, gods/religion/ beliefs, teachings/education, etc.
