Leonardo Da Vinci by Walter Isaacson

3.0

Fantastic life, flat book. While the scope and scale of Leonardo's achievements are even more than what I presumed, we never get to know him well through the book. I am not sure if the fault lies with the author or just that the details of Leonardo's life are simply not available to craft a rich picture. Questions that one starts with are barely addressed - how was he able to accomplish so much and what are his methods. The author's answer that Leonardo was very curious does not offer much insight other than stating the glaringly obvious.
