I DONT LIKE POLITICS!!!!!!!

alyssagrace92's review against another edition

Not as malevolent a read as I believe is generally attributed to this book. Machiavelli very straightforwardly sets out what works and what doesn't for rulers of various types of states. Inevitably, immoral things work a lot, but my conclusion from the book was if you wish to live a good and moral life, ruling a nation for a significant amount of time during the Renaissance is not for you. Sorry.

Book was very heavy and I could not get into it. Very slow and questionable opinions on women, as is the time period

It was good. Not my type of book, but I'm not mad about it.
