Edward Gibbon af D. M. Low
Biography of the author of "The Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire".

Every sentence is needlessly convoluted, which combined with the author's obvious assumption of an advanced knowledge of Roman history and literature (so maybe I'm just not the intended audience?) makes this book impossible to read, and the attempt was a complete waste of time.… (mere)
