Funny, easy reading, highly engrossing 
None Good writing, excellent characters Rushed ending A very individual and abrupt manner of writing. May not suit all. Characters and events leap of the page and bring Rome to life Long chapters, can be a little confusing, some might find it boring Good developed characters, a very funny book.
