jeffdc2010 's review for:

Leonardo Da Vinci by Walter Isaacson
3.0

Good, not great. I started off loving it, about halfway through realized I only liked it, then near the end felt like a homework assignment that wouldn't end. The book is half traditional biography using da Vinci's own journals as source and half fan boy critique of his artistic works, including a chapter or two tangent about modern "discoveries" and the debate if they are authentic or not. Preferred the former over the latter. One of those books that I'm glad I read, but also glad to finally finish...
