Review title: Reads like a cheap Hollywood novel rather than history
Product review: This book, like many historical works published in the last several decades, is intellectually dishonest. The very first page White tells us the pope "remembered fondly the attentions of his lover earlier that morning". This reads like a cheap Hollywood novel rather than a quality historical book. History can be fascinating and the story interesting without resorting to cheap fabrications such as this. How does Mr. White know what the pope was thinking that morning? Very poorly done. Unfortunately this book would be worthwhile for the Vatican as ...[burnable material]..., and nothing else.
