Title: This ain't worth it
Review: As a huge fan of Claudius and a lesser fan of some of Graves' other works this one comes at the very bottom of my list of preferred RG titles. The plot is ungainly, the action is plodding and the overall point to the novel seems obscured by Graves greater interest in the wider view of Roman society, which is all very well but goes unexplored in the text.After the directness of the persona in 'I, Claudius', I was shocked by the boredom induced by this book.Re-read 'Claudius' for the thirtieth time, its a better and more entertaining use of time than this.
