5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it!, 19 Dec 2007
By Alan Wick (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Leonardo's Shadow: Or, My Astonishing Life as Leonardo Da Vinci's Servant (Hardcover)
I don't usually go in for this sort of thing but a friend recommended it. Once started I couldn't put it down. I found myself with the book in one hand while Googling with the other, every time a name or painting was mentioned in the book. The story brings the whole period to life in a genuinely engaging way - and this from someone with no interest in the history of that period! Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Courtesy of Teens Read Too, 23 Sep 2007
By TeensReadToo "Eat. Drink. Read. Be Merrier." (All Over the US & Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Leonardo's Shadow: Or, My Astonishing Life as Leonardo Da Vinci's Servant (Hardcover)
Leonardo da Vinci hasn't worked on the fresco of the Last Supper in two years. His supporters are most unhappy with his progress. Payments for da Vinci have stopped, but that does not stop the da Vinci household from running up debts all over town.

The shopkeepers are starting to refuse more credit on his accounts.

The Duke of Milan and da Vinci have a history of playful disagreements. However, the Duke makes no secret that he's asked the rival artist Michaelangelo to town. With threats at his doorstep and the Pope coming to the chapel in the near future, da Vinci gets to work.

LEONARDO'S SHADOW shares the story of the creation of the Last Supper through the eyes of da Vinci's servant, Giacomo. Grey spins a wonderful tale of historical fiction for anyone who's interested in the Italian Renaissance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent read , 2 Jan 2007
By Ros (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Leonardo's Shadow: Or, My Astonishing Life as Leonardo Da Vinci's Servant (Hardcover)
What can i say, i loved the book!
when i first heard of it, i was intruigued as Da Vinci and his works have always fascinated me, but, to be totally honest, wasn't sure how good it was going to be.
However, i romped through it, couldn't put it down. It was thoroughly enjoyable, with believable, engaging characters and a well paced plot, with enough twists to keep me entertained, but not confused. Made me want to go find out more about Da Vinci and the characters he came across.
i know the book is aimed at a younger reader than me, so i gave it to my 14 year old son, to see what he thought, and he read it with as much delight as i did. (Had to actually take it out of his hand 2 hours after his bedtime, so that he would go to sleep!)
Would totally recommend it to anyone, but maybe especially to younger teens.
I'll certainly be keeping an eye out for more of Christopher Grey's work. A writer who writes an excellent story that my kids and I can totally relax with and thoroughly enjoy. Keep up the good work!
