>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 15 15:58:07 2014 No.5141125 >>5141086 pretty good read, as is Claudius the God. Any Graves historical novel, really. He takes some liberties with the actual history, but whatever.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 15 18:48:21 2014 No.5141712 It's not really a novel with a purpose other than entertainment. It's well written however and the crazy shit that happens makes it good at what it sets out to do. I dislike the pretend history framing device though. Destroys any tension as it arises.
