5.0

This book is definitely a 'coffee-table' book--it's pretty big! You'll need to lay it down to read it, because you won't be able to hold it for too long unless you're an oarsman/woman or something.

It's worth it, though. The pictures are much bigger and clearer than in any other book about Barbaro, and there are a few I hadn't seen in any other books, magazines or other media.

As always, his story is moving and tragic no matter how you tell it, and honestly the writing isn't the main attraction anyway.
