It is difficult to position Elliotts biography of Caesar within the considerable canon of work on him, There is nothing new or startling in this account, nor is it particularly well or badly written, Reading this, I was reminded of the oldfashioned primers I read as a boy in thes, so my evaluation of this is that it is a useful primer.
If that is all you need then Elliotts biography will work but look elsewhere, probably Adrian Goldsworthys Caesar, for more depth of analysis.
