 Nevjerovatna knjiga o Mikelandjelu, o agoniji i ekstazi stvaranja, borbe s porivima i talentom...pozelis da se spakiras, otputujes u Rim i dodirnes sva djela koje je Mikelandjelo isklesao ili naslikao.Usput saznas mnogo o njemu o sebi o umjetnosti.

 An incredible book. Really makes you feel like you KNOW what Michelangelo was thinking and feeling while he was creating the David and painting the Sistine Chapel. Cool historic perspective too!

 I read this in anticipation of moving to Italy, and have since had the good fortune to see several of Michelangelo's sculptures. This historical semi-fiction tells a captivating story of the artist's life, which has enhanced my appreciation of his works.

 A great story that conveys the passion and inspiration for Michelangelo's works of art, architecture, sculpture and poetry. I highly recommend this for novices to art history (myself included) who want to learn about one of the greatest artists of all time.

 Dull begining. Then the story unwinds surprisingly well. Really time-consuming as it makes you confront the book with the actual works of art
