My Kindle edition was three volumes and 1300 pages, so I have to admit that I'm glad to be done with it. The book itself is very historically important, and it's not bad, it just gets a bit tedious, even taking it in small doses. Plutarch spends a great deal of time talking about the various battles and wars that each general led, and that wasn't as interesting to me as the insights into their characters, which were not the main focus of a lot of the biographies. I did find a few great quotes and humorous lines scattered throughout. This definitely isn't for everybody. ( )
