Roll over Plutarch, out of the way Shakespear. Herein, Leones is rewriting history in a farce that mimics the style and purience of the classical Roman writers of burlesque. One of the funniest things to ever come marching down the Appian way into the Forum! Outrageous! I now know that my laboring through four years of classical Latin was not wasted nor was my reading of "Julius Caesar". The spirit of Seutonius and Petronius lives again! This ranks up there with "The Pumkinification of Claudius" and the "Satyricon". This could be the equal of some of the marching songs of Caesar's legions (the ones that discribe the conquering general's alleged sexual habits).
It should be noted that distribution of this story to minors is generally a felony in most states. Do not send it out to all of the prep school sophomores you know who are suffering through Julius Caesar's "Gallic Wars". (9/10)
