This book was unique.  It is told as Julius Caesar, the play.  And at first that part was a bit jarring, but at the same time, one was sucked in.  the format grew on you as you read.  It was almost like reading Clueless full of villains.  I enjoyed it.  The cover DOES NOT do it justice.  In fact the cover is entirely wrong.

This isn't one of those books that someone would generally pick up off the shelf.  This is one of those books that is stumbled upon, and then is forced by friends to be read and talked about.
