One of the saddest things that we only have fragments off. But I will say what we do have is very snazzy indeed. When one thinks of the Ancient Romans one thinks of somber occasions, gladiators and evil emperors but then you get this which could have been written last year. You get this kind of line "'Oh my! I think I've shit myself.' For all I know, he did. He certainly shat on everything else." which is just brilliant.
The dinner at Trimalchio's part is definitely the best part as it is hard to understand the story as the rest of the parts are slightly fragmentary. Moreover all the description of extreme excess is funny and like I said earlier very apt for today's world.
