Review of "It's All Greek To Me" by Charlotte Higgins

I didn't have high expectations of this book - another privileged person with a Classics degree, telling us why what they had learned was really important for the modern world, I thought (see her bio on Wikipedia). And it was mostly like that, though it got a bit better towards the end with some consideration of gay sex in the ancient Greek world. 

My enjoyment was further limited by the terrible physical production of the book, which literally fell to pieces as I read it. Did they save on glue or something like that?
