Title: Diary of Dorkius Maximus
Series: Diary of Dorkius Maximus - 1st book
Author: Tim Collins
Read Before: no
My Comments: Not as clever or funny as the author’s other spoof novel, Diary of a Wimpy Vampire. This book takes all the stereotypical Roman facts and wraps it around gags. It works well and the illustrations add to the charm. However, it feels as if this is just the same concept in a new cover and it is exactly that. There’s nothing new that makes it stand out. I guess the appeal of the story is seeing how the main character is so oblivious and cannot take a hint.
Rating: 6/10
