Negative Positive
Title: Disappointing...
Review: I am a big fan of Kathleen Krull. She has written so many wonderful books, but LEONARDO DA VINCI is a book that I do not feel comfortable recommending or sharing.In addition to focusing on some issues which might be controversial to introduce to a younger audience, the book lacks end notes or source notes to validate the material in the book. Although Krull is always using quotes, she never tells specifically where she is getting her information. A long bibliography is essentially useless for doublechecking facts since I have no intention of reading twenty books (two specifically speculating on Leonardo's sex life) to find out where she learned that Leonardo hated having dirty fingernails, for example.
Is the review positive or negative?
