The relationship between Michelangelo, Leonardo and the other great people of their era in Firenze (Florence) is intrinsically awesome. However the author is an inferior writer and her background historical research is terrible. Nonetheless she brings to life a few poignant details of the creation of Leonardo's Mona Lisa and Michelangelo's David statue that make the book worth skimming. 3/5 Stars. It's a shame no great English-language historical fiction writers are researching and publishing the art history of Florence during that time.
