Book Reviews of The Autobiography of Benvenuto Cellini (Penguin Classics)

Book Review: 3 stars
Summary: 3 Stars

It's a bit annoying to listen to Cellini talk about himself for 400 pages in such a manner. He's not a literary genius, so it's a bit hard to get through. But, Cellini's life is anything but boring. I also found him very witty and amusing. You have to be into the Renaissance, or history, to enjoy it.
