Atticus, a young 12 year old boy is bought into slavery after the slaughter of his village but finds new hope in a new house hold of a rich man, Lucius Opimius. He makes new friends along the way building Trust, and love. Atticus though soon finds himself in a world of wonder and danger when things end up in twist. The story was interesting to me although there wasn't an descriptive talking in the story which I love about books but the author put so many details of what's going on I seem to enjoy myself. There are pros and cons however. The thing that makes the book interesting is how well detailed it is but the con is that its sometimes hard to understand but if you pay attention to the what is happening, it will be easier to understand. The had many historical facts however helping you learn more about ancient Rome. I recommend this book for entertainment and learning.

Atticus was a 12 year old boy who's village was raided by Roman soldiers and was taken to a slave auction. Atticus was sold to a highly political man named Lucius Opimius. Atticus later became a spy for Lucius Opimius. It was fairly easy for Atticus to tune into Political conversations since slaves are usually ignored, but Atticus realized that the reality in the Roman political environment isn't what anyone saw coming. Atticus of Rome is an "okay" book, I can't say I would recommend this book for "enjoyment" because it's hard to understand who's thinking and who's doing what, the book also doesn't always say what Atticus overheard from spying. Although, it has many interesting historical facts, like what the Romans lived in, and what they would eat at feasts. Overall, Atticus of Rome is an "okay" book.

Atticus of Rome was an "okay" book, but it kept changing characters, it was also hard to put a finger on who was doing what, and it didn't always say what Atticus had overheard while he was spying. Although, while I was reading, I learned a lot about the Romans, like what their houses/apartments were like, and what they would eat at "feasts." Overall, Atticus of Rome is not the best book, but it does have interesting historical facts in it.

Atticus is a twelve year old boy who lived a peaceful life until Roman soldiers invaded his small village. He and his dad were captured and sold at a slave auction to different masters. Atticus was not a normal slave, he was a spy for his master, Lucius Opimius. No one cared about slaves, so he could easily listen to conversations. He uncovers the unexpected truth to Roman politics. Atticus of Rome was not my favorite. Some parts were very confusing, and I couldn't tell who was who and what was what. When I could understand the story, it was kind of interesting. I wouldn' t read it for fun, but it helped me understand Rome more.
