Pretty tedious stuff June 15, 2008

This could have been so much better.

What promised to be a light-hearted look at how the Ancients went about solving the problems of today instead turns into one dull, bitter and snide list of complaints about the rubbishness of modern Britain, with at times only passing mention of the Ancient world.

If you've ever been stuck in a long London taxi ride with a particularly snide and unfunny driver, whose solution to every problem under the London sun is essentially 'string 'em up' and wanted to recreate the experience, this book is perfect. Otherwise there is little to recommend it.
