Title: Not as good as I'd hoped...
Product review: As a fan of Stephen Saylor's work, I was hoping to find another series that would immerse me in the world of ancient Rome. Instead, I found a light-weight piece of detective fiction that was in parts poorly written, and had throughoout little or no atmosphere.Compared to Saylor (or even Ross Leckie) this is thin stuff indeed.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
