Negative Positive
Title: good but disappointing
Review: I won't repeat my more scholarly review in the WCC here on Amazon.com. Let me just say to the layperson -- this book is not for you. Instead it requires a grasp of both law and society in ancient Rome to fully appreciate and evaluate this book. Too often entire sections of the book repeat themselves and the theory comes at the end as part of the conclusion. You may have to read it twice to fully understand and either agree or disagree with Grubbs' views.
Is the review positive or negative?
