In Pompeii, A novel by Robert Harris, the reader will be taken on a journey through the Roman Empire. Using fictional characters, Harris helps one experience the unexpected and incredibly destructive eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. Both the eruption and chaos surrounding it are described in extreme detail. The thrilling ending of Pompeii leaves the reader wanting more. Romance, adventure and betrayal all help make this novel a bestseller. I was originally interested in reading Pompeii after hearing good reviews from other classmates. Also, I liked the idea of learning about the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius through the eyes of fictional characters. I would recommend this book to any one either interested in volcanoes or thrilling novels.
