Stay foolish, stay procrastinating.
It's a very (sometimes too) detailed biography of the arguably the most accomplished Italian at all times. He's not only a painter, but a musician, a stage technician, an engineer, an inventor, and even a city planner at one point. Listening to the audiobook is a bit of torture, since one needs often refer to the pdf that was NOT included with my library loan (and I have to find it on Audible to download it). But yes, this is a book I'd recommend and one day collect.

I got tired of all the minutiae of LD and his life. I guess if you really want to know everything there is to know about him, this is the book!

oyxymoron's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 70%

too dense for me i fear... will probably have to start from the beginning if i want to reread someday

Phenomenal book on one of the most interesting individuals of the Italian Renaissance. It felt almost as if though Isaacson was leading me through my very own personal tour of the Leonardo Da Vinci Museum.

I listened to it on audio, it's a long book, gets pretty boring at times
