The vast majority of this book is “humor”, but not any type of humor that I can appreciate. I found it to be a real chore to read this book, and I only persisted in doing so for its historical significance. At least I was rewarded with a final chapter which was devoid of “humor”, and which gave some hints as to what the Roman cults of Isis and Osiris were like.
