Summary of this Book...
This book is a collection of poems written by Gaius Valerius Catullus who lived approximately from 84-54 BC. The contents of the poems are diverse. Some greatly satirical, some outlandish, some are excellently contrived and presented tales and some brazen.
I especially liked...

I didn't like...
Not much.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
When I finished this book I wanted to work on my epic poem.
This Book made me feel...
This book made me laugh at times and cry at other times. I was touched by the love stories and angered at the brazen societal behaviors portrayed in some of the poems.
The author of this Book...
Gaius Valerius Catullus lived approximately from 84-54 BC.
I don't recommend this Book because...
The structure of the poems is supurb, the rhyme and meter are excellent.
Further Comments...
The book can be found elsewhere on line if Amazon.com runs out of listings.
