High entertainment
New York Times Book Review
<b>Simply great... A truly monumental novel</b>
Associated Press
Historical fiction in the true, honorable sense... <b>Full of vivid, richly wrought fictional detail</b>
Wall Street Journal
Impressive. . . . To the formidable task which Vidal sets himself, he brings an easy and fluent gift for narrative; a theatrical sense of scene and dramatic occasion; and a revealing eye and ear for character delineation-to say nothing of wide reading
Newsweek
A real hero... An excellent book
Chicago Daily News
Gore Vidal has the sharpest sense of what political power consists of, how it is achieved and what it does to a man. And at the same time he is funny, roaringly funny. . . . <b>Julian is a brilliant beacon of light in the dim grey landscape of the historical novel</b>
Louis Auchincloss
A brilliant study of Julian's era. . . . That rare historical novel which enjoys all the virtues of good history and good fiction
Washington Star
No odder figure ever guided the destinies of the Roman Empire than the Emperor Julian Augustus. Here was a recluse and a scholar who became a great military leader, an ascetic who preached the life of the senses, a fatalist who believed he would remake the world. . . . He is endlessly fascinating
