Book Review - Michelangelo : Biography of a Genius by Bruno Nardini

This book is sold in the museum giftshops all over Italy. It's a quick read and a decent introductory biography of Michelangelo. The author covers the political climate during Michelangelo's life as much as he does Michelangelo's personal life. Then again, he served several Popes who had a major influence on his life and never really had a personal life. If you're looking for a broad overview, this is a decent book; however, you're not going to find any detailed descriptions of his artistic sculpting or painting processes or any artwork reproductions.
