Title: Magical, mystical piece of tripe
Review: I read (well, not really...I got to page 100 and felt like I'd read it three times already) this book over ten years ago and I still rank it as the worse piece of tripe that I ever had the misfortune to come across. But I'm biased. Like most Latins, I think the whole "magical and mysterious" cloak with which Latin literature is viewed abroad is unfortunate, but ultimately it's that kind of rubbish that sells.
