excellent - By: Dr. F. M. A. Jones, 26 Feb 2008
If you're reading Juvenal for interest fun or some such reason, this translation is the best in English - it has a good sense of rhythm, an alertness to Juvenal's poetic manner ...

If you're reading Juvenal for study, this translation is also the best in English. It is a great achievment to have captured so much of the subtlety of the original & transferred it into the new language. The accuracy & sensitivity of the translation is extremely high.
