Judge Epithetical Books The Rich Are Different (Van Zale #1)

This is my second Susan Howatch book, but my first was actually it's sequel (The Sins of the Father), which I read many, many years ago, and which had me hungering for this book, so I could learn the history of the characters.Now is the era of ebooks, and although I never saw this in stores or the library when I thought to look for it, it was just a few keystrokes away on Amazon, so I was quite happy to acquire it and finally have the chance to read it.So did it live up to my expectations?I knew

This book sucked me in. It took place during the post-WWI economic boom and crisis, and continued to WWII. It mirrored the lives of Cleopatra, Julius Caesar, Augustus, and Mark Antony, but it took place on Wall Street and in London. It was so creatively done that I didn't realize until I was half-way through it that the story sounded familiar. This was a dream for me as a student of history because of the constant references to historical events and people. I found each character interesting

I re- read this book after many years. The first time I read it I did not realise it was based on Caesar, Antony and Cleopatra but never-the-less it immediately became one of my favourite books. This shows how timeless this story of love and power is.The book begins in the UK and New York, post world war 1 and is told in the first person by a succession of interesting characters based on real Romans with the character based on Cleopatra, Dinah, getting two sections to herself. She is obviously

I read this book in high school and enjoyed it very much. I enjoyed it the second time as well, perhaps for different, more mature reasons. It is a light and easy read, but yet is not too fluffy, with a good dose of well-researched historical information. Themes of ambition, greed, and adultery kept my interest level high as well as a set of interesting characters and moral dilemmas.

Oh my goodness, I remember reading this years ago with my first reading group, in Austin, and love-love-loving it. Read several others by the same author back then (though they were hard to come by). Don't remember too many of the specifics (shocker!), just that it opened up a whole new world of historical fiction for me. Glad to see it's out in kindle format now and looking forward to reading it again and reliving all the family drama!

Excellent novel, the story has more than one climax which is a first. She writes from different perspectives and the writing is intelligent. She illustrates human flaw deliciously. Love!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book (and also the sequel). I'm a great fan of Susan Howatch's family sagas with a historical basis. I especially like the way she divides all her sagas into 6 sections, with one of the main characters narrating each section in the first person. This gives several different insights into one person. You may be thinking how much you dislike one particular character when seen through the eyes of another. But then you read the section narrated by the character you dislike,
