Title: What a life .... his art work is for the world to enjoy!!!
Review: I enjoyed this book on Michelangelo. He was very interesting. My only regret was not reading it before I went to Italy in November of 2001. Some things I did not like were, it was hard trying to remember what year you were in, I kept having to turn back to figure out the year. It got a bit wordy and at times it seemed like all his friends and associates had the same names -- I would never figure out who was who accept for Granacci.Michel...'s father was very annoying to me, for someone who was so against his son being a sculpture, he sure got after him for ducats and gold florins. I would recommend this book especially if you are going to Italy. I did feel like I could transport back in time because of my trip there and also because some of the same areas that are mentioned are still there in Florence.Even though the paperback version was almost 800 pages, a lot for a paperback, it held my interest to the very end!
Is the review positive or negative?
