 gladiator by richard watkins November 20, 2003
Gladiators by richard watkins is a great book. It has some intresting information on what gladiators are, what they do, and how the do it. I learned from this book that not only did gladiators fight to the death, but most of the time thier lives depended on the crowd. I really enjoyed reading this book. It had alot of intresting facts in it. If your thinking about getting it I highly reccomend getting it.
A Passionate Study October 19, 2001
I wish Mr. Watkins would write and illustrate other books / this must have been a labour of love. The drawings are masterful!I work as a children's librarian and I'm scared for the little ones to take this out. It's pretty irreplaceable/ unlike any other.
An excellent introduction to gladiatorial games November 3, 1998
Richard Watkins' book on the gladiators of Rome is a welcome addition to the sparse literature on these most fascinating 'sports figures' and the 'games' they engaged in. Targeted principally for the younger readers, it is still an enjoyable read for anyone interested in the professional swordsmen of the arena. The illustrations are quite good, although a more colourful and detailed medium than graphite might have better served to capture the parade-like splendour of the events. Gladiator is an worthwhile companion to Michael Grant's harder to find (and more detailed) Gladiators (also highly recommended).
Well written concise account of the lives of gladiators. October 6, 1998
This book is not solely intended for the young reader. It contains numerous well illustrated aspects of gladiators in the arena as well as other Roman games.
 This is a nice book but it is for children and young people December 30, 1997
The book is basically a pictorial book for children and not for more experienced learners. As a beginners book it gives a fair description of the Gladiators history and place in the Roman culture but, it needs much more to compete with other books on the subject.
