Title: Only Thing Interesting is the Title!
Review: Of the 330 pages in this book, about fifty of them are interesting. The book was written in 1912 and this is a reprint of that original publication. Despite his disclaimers, the author definitely has an ax to grind. It doesn't seem so much to be one he wields to disparage, as it does one wielded by someone on the outside looking in, who is green with envy. The antiquated writing style of this author is pretty boring. He goes on with endless lists of names of papabili and the women they allegedly recruited as patronesses. It's hard to tell which ones are men and which are women, and that really confuses some of his tales. When the author zeros in on a couple of major pope makers, like Mathilda of Tuscany or Donna Olimpia, it gets a little interesting. As a period piece, it is a good one, but it just doesn't work beyond that. Use the handy dandy index to look up Mathilda and Donna and you will get those good fifty pages I mentioned.
