Really enjoyed reading this, even though I did get pissed off occasionally. I probably shouldn't say this, but one of the reasons I enjoyed this book was simply that I didn't feel emotionally challenged by the characters ever. I understand that Boccaccio making fun of the Roman Catholic church was pretty significant for the time, but as we're in the era of child molesting priests, even the charge of hypocrisy seemed mild in comparison. Nevertheless, it was fun reading his anti-church rants.
