2.0 out of 5 stars A little sex goes a long way, 12 Sep 2008
By L O'connor (richmond, surrey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
I immensely enjoyed Tony Perrottet's earlier books 'Pagan Holiday' and 'The Naked Olympics', both of which were packed with enthralling information and brought the classical world vividly to life.

This book is a big disappointment by comparison. A collection of scrappy anecdotes, mostly to do with sexual matters (was Lincoln gay, what became of Napoleon's penis etc). There are some amusing nuggets of information scattered here and there in the text, but reading this book very quickly becomes monotonous.

This is a book to dip into rather than read at a sitting, and while I couldn't put 'Pagan Holiday' or 'The Naked Olympics' down, I found myself able to put this book down quite easily. Picking it up again was more of an effort.
