What a brilliant read, perfect for anyone who enjoys ancient history and/or theatre. Although it is not quite as funny as all the reviews make it out to be, there is a lighthearted and casual bluntness to the narration that is very fun to read. What really struck me was how modern the characters felt - despite the book being set over 2000 years ago, it was a story that easily could’ve happened in the modern day because the characters aren’t too different to us.
