Inarguably, one of the most influential pieces of literature in history.

And yet.

This translation reads more like clunky, repetitive fan fiction than an engaging telling of this loosely-tied collected series of events.

One of the more stodgy translations in the Penguin Classics - makes one of the most influential and widely enjoyed Latin classics seem dull.
