Review title: A Good Story, Poorly Told
Product review: It would be very difficult to make the story of the family Borgia dull, but Mario Puzo and Carol Gino do their best. Pope Alexander VI, nee Rodrigo Borgia, manipulated his and his illegitimate brood's way to the top of the European food chain using whatever means necessary, and their rise to power makes for interesting reading. However, Mr. Puzo, and Ms. Gino tell the story in a style that never seems to fit history, historical fiction, or romance, and so becomes a hodge-podge of what may be the worst of all three. The history is incomplete, the fiction is plodding, and the romance is overblown. I finished the book because I love Vatican skullduggery, and it served as airplane and hotel reading, but as much as I'd recommend someone read about the Borgia's, I'd never recommend anyone do it with this book.
