nategass 's review for:

St. Francis of Assisi by G.K. Chesterton
3.0

A short book that could have been shorter. I learned a little bit about St. Francis, I guess. Had to wade through a lot of Chesterton rambling about the way we should approach the story of Francis and all that's wrong with the way our contemporary minds think about miracles, the church, the medieval world, The Crusades, etc.

The rambling isn't entirely useless or uninteresting, but I can't say it all added up to a better understanding of who Francis was.
