Advantages: Good story, Loads of factual information Disadvantages: Nearly 3 hours long!
that the interest in this film mainly lies with the women that venture into Alexanders life and not so much in the battles as i had previously hoped.

The book works on two levels. At the same time as explaining the reasons and routes behind Alexanders advance, Wood is able to look for evidence still visable in the modern landscape. From buildiings and physical geography to stories still told and the people themselves help bring the story to life and turn the dusty pages of history into a beautiful joining of past and present ...
