A reader writes ...
"Irving Stone's biography of Michaelangelo is a truly awesome achievement. Never have I been so enthralled. Although I am not a student of art, I was completely captivated by Stone's history of Michaelangelo and the times in which he lived. Each of the 750+ pages held a morsel so delicious I did not put the book down until I had read it cover to cover. Irving Stone's book may well be in league with Michaelangelo's art as a masterpiece for all time."

A Long Finish. The latest in Michael Dibdin's 'Aurelio Zen' series...

"Zen remains the prototypical post-Maigret European detective, but in these recent forays into distant outposts, the focus has been less on the detective's cynical world-weariness and more on the intricacies of a traditional culture warped by crime. Either way, this series remains a must for Italy buffs and followers of murder continental style."
