from William Morrow
Price: $17.79

Customer Review:
This book begins with a lot of technical stuff. If you majored in Latin to avoid taking math, don't give up, just turn the pages. About the third chapter it gets really interesting and fun to read. It is filled with extraordinary bits of information that will delight you.

There's no denying the simple... more info

8.[no image]Michelangelo and the Pope's Ceiling
from Books on Tape

Customer Review:
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. Many of the stories are things I have heard before, but woven seemlessly into an insightful narrative. King's assessment of Michelangelo's ceiling and its radical importance in pictorial history is correct in its context and amplitude; my knowledge thereby... more info

Calling this book average is probably giving it more than it deserves. I did not enjoy this book except for some parts pertaining to the Pazzi conspiracy.
The author does not delve deeply enough into the subject. He makes mention of Lorenzo's brilliance, charisma, and achievements but does... more info
