2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. was a difficult read - more like reading the jottings in someone's notebookBy NASAnnals; by Tacitus; was a difficult read - more like reading the jottings in someone's notebook. Also Tacitus uses multiple names for the same person or one name for multiple personalities in a family. However; I found the history had more depth since Tacitus lived close to the time of the events he describes. His analysis of the Roman legions; wars; weak Senate activities; and utter depravity of the emperor's; noblemen and their families was brought out in detail. Very interesting.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Unreadable tacitusBy Jennifer HuebnerIt was very disappointing.I have read much better versions.4 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Tacitus "Annals" in Penguin Classics paperback. Hooray!By R. J. RyanThe five stars are for anyone (everyone) who; like me has borrowed; googled; wikied Tacitus for years without having one's own copy. I not only gave out hits to my family re birthday and Christmas presents; I told them I'd be in heaven I I had my own copy.There is no other review I can offer except to say what a treasure trove it is. Tacitus is not a cover to cover read; but rather a mine of gems that one might stumble upon by accident or design. But then; all the really scholarly people know this already. My poor review is for the interested unschooled such as myself. Maybe; if you put it on your wishlist; someone in the family might buy it for you.
