Another make-you-want-to-major-in-classics book. Massive and indulgent descriptions of ancient battles and the mysteries of pre-christian rituals. Like a cake you can't stop eating though you know it makes you sick. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/558421?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
