The subject is interesting. A very skilled waterworks engineer is newly assigned to the Naples area just before Vesuvius erupts. He systematically investigates all the preceding phenomena which is interesting. But the author takes every opportunity to gross the reader out with various aspects of Roman life and customs which I skimmed through but it got to be too much so I just bailed about half way through.
