Book Reviews of The Agony and the Ecstasy: A Biographical Novel of Michelangelo

Book Review: Beautifully written book.
Summary: 5 Stars

A wonderful book that captures the genius, the brilliance and yet the suffering of Michelangelo. Not only biographical but also a historical account of life and times in Florence and Rome during the tremendous Renaissance era. Michelangelo's passion for his craft is inspiring and motivating and Stone's account of his life is magical.
