Pretty good - don't need to read the rest of the series

Some of the other reviews on here suggest that you can't read this book if you're not up to date with the series. That's just not true. You can pick up straight here and read away. This boom stands alone and stands well. It's not a literary classic (Fabbri just isn't that sort of writer) but it's a good tale that you can go along with. And if you've ever been to Rome, this works even better. If you haven't then what an excuse to visit this magical city.
