The only bits I was particularly interested were about the Temple of Vesta and the shrine to Justurna.
Those I found interesting...the rest...perhaps might have been a more engaging read if I had ever been to Rome.
Still, the main thrust of the book, that part of what makes the Forum interesting as a historical site is the mix of times, cultures, priorities, and architecture it represents is a good one. I think people more immediately interested in the Forum as an archaeological site should read this.
