Format:Turtleback
Michelangelo and 16th century Italy come alive in a novel where plot, characters and history blend together beautifully. Stone gives readers a detailed insight of what it meant to be an artist of that period. This book made me want to grab the next flight to Florence to see the masterpieces which he describes so well. You can feel the marble dust in your eyes and smell the paint as he describes the way Michelangelo worked. Have a good, illustrated art encyclopedia at hand as you read this book -- you'll find yourself continually looking at the masterpieces he talks about. A really excellent read for art enthusiasts and non.

Format:Paperback
A wonderful book that captures the genius, the brilliance and yet the suffering of Michelangelo. Not only biographical but also a historical account of life and times in Florence and Rome during the tremendous Renaissance era. Michelangelo's passion for his craft is inspiring and motivating and Stone's account of his life is magical.

What a wonderful book, quite simply the best book I have ever read. Touching inspirational, moving, a book I could not put down. The only disappointment was finishing it.
