Even the book is 662 pages long, from page 565, there are only acknowledgements, notes and references. I love how it is liberally sprinkled with many color images making it even more delightful to read and admire his works.

There were a lot of characters popping up in each chapter that I found that a little tedious. I knew next to nothing about Michelangelo. Soon after buying Leonardo da Vinci by Walter Isaccson, it wasn't long before I started thinking about Michelangelo and I had to get this! This tome gave me a great introduction to him, his times, and even his landscape.
Great read I'm leaving for Italy tomorrow. This is a beautiful book with thick, smooth and white pages and easy-to-read chapters.
