Roma

This was OK, I suppose. The writing, plotting, and characterisation were all pretty simplistic, but I wanted a book that wouldn't make my brain work too hard and this certainly fitted the bill.

Rather disappointing. I was hoping for a heroic romp through Rome but what I got was a soft story, over stuffed with pseudo religious clap trap. Too many characters that I cared little or nothing about and unrealistic scenes that just didn't keep the action flowing. This book could have been 200 pages shorter. A real struggle to get to the end.
