I really don’t think everyone would care about the Alexander the Great example as much as you think they would, so that’s not a great argument.

This is an extremely uncharitable reading of AYRT’s comments, and the author’s intent. And I don’t think it’s an accurate reading either. The most cynical answer isn’t always automatically the correct one.

If the book is intentionally campy fun, as that anon insists, then there is nothing strange about readers not being able to take it seriously due to the premise. Would that not be the intended effect? Can't have it both ways and be like both a) How COULD you not be able to take this seriously?? and b)Uh, this isn't MEANT to be taken seriously.

None of that was really what I was talking about, or what I was responding to? And I don’t think I disagree with most of your comment either?
