I really, really disliked that book. I can't say why, either. It was sort of like a smarmy guest who wouldn't leave. The kind of guest who eats all of your crackers and cheese, and leaves the crumbs in the couch. You know the kind I mean.

I'll be curious to see if you have a more coherent reaction to that book than I did. Of course, in the canon of Imerial Roman Fiction, nothing's as bad as Hadrian's Wall, or as I like to think of it, "Dances With Celts."
