Title: Annoying
Product review: It seems that many of the other reviews on this book are based on personal religious preferences, or sympathy towards the person of More himself, rather than being based on the merits of the book.Although the life of More always interested me, I found this book annoyingly digressing. Chronologically reciting life events for a biography is a dry business, and it is understandable for a biographer to insert occasional digressions and speculations about the character's psychology, the times in which he lived, the Renaissance in general, etc.But with Marius (the author), this resource the norm. And frankly, most of them are too extended, without adding much to your knowledge of More.I could only read until page 70 of his 550-page book. Then I decided that I cannot pass judgment about Mr Marius scholarship, because I cannot tolerate him as a writer.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
