A great biography of one of history’s artistic geniuses. Isaacson portrays Da Vinci fairly and shows the flaws of the man as well as the myths. The only reason I can’t give this a five star review is the back and forth style of the biography.

mind boggling to learn about the creativity of the legendary and also realize that he himself didn't know of his greatness, he was just naturally curious and creative and didn't think it was anything special.

Instead of the story of Leonardo's life, the book is about his paintings.
And through his paintings, you learn something about his life.
But as the paint of the paintings is dry, so was this book.
I found it very hard to get through it.

The audiobook helped, but pfff, I have read way better Biographies of people.
