Hästi ja detailselt kirjutatud. Vähem oli elulugu, kui just kunstiteoste analüüsimist, mistõttu oli seda ka raske lugeda.

The book is interesting. While I’ve learnt quite a bit about Da Vinci, I was disappointed with how often things would be repeated, like concepts or facts already stated. That probably could've taken quite a bit off this book. I also didn't like how often the biographer’s voice would come through. I understand it is his work, but Isaacson heavily overshadowed Leonardo. On a more positive note, I did love learning about a man so dedicated to life? To perfection? It's hard to say what exactly captures Leonardo, but all I can say is his work is quite admirable. He also really gives me underlying ADHD patterns, of getting easily distracted and hyperactivity. I'm not doctor though and I'm certainly not trying to diagnose such a genius. Overall, I liked some parts of the book, but the overall voice was not appealing.

Although interesting I found it hard to finish. There were so many details & dates that it started to feel like a research paper. It is a very interesting look at his life.
