Negative Positive
Title: Ultimately Disappointing
Review: Several other reviewers have gone into lengthy detail about the editing deficiencies of this book, so I won't re-hash those points. This book could've been so much more, and I certainly bought it expecting a much better reading experience. If you want a mildly interesting account of papal excesses and a mediocre account of the actual architectural and building history of St. Peters, this is your book. Otherwise, I'd recommend not reading it.
