Quick and Intriguing, not enough to quite satisfy
I read about this book in one of the back pages of The Last Templar (one of those advertisment pages for new books). I was happy that there's more books in the Dan Brown/Ray Khoury genre as I like the intrigue of "lost treasure" books. Although the protagonist in this ...

A Very Good Read

Much more than a great art discovery
Like the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel (and the Last Judgment fresco on the wall at the alter end), this book is wonderful at many levels. First, it will help people understand a lot about one of the great philo-Semitic periods of history. Together with Britain in ...

This is the one.
My library contains many various volumes on the subject of Caravaggio--fiction, biography, fictionalized biography and photo surverys of his works--but if I were allowed only one book on this most extradordinary painter and his life I'd take "Caravaggio" by John T. ...

The Electric Michelangelo (P.S.)
Sarah Hall
Harper Perennial

Sometimes disturbing, but compelling and emotionally stirring
I couldn't resist this 2005 novel when I heard it was about a tattoo artist. The fact that it was writen by Sara Hall, a Brit born in 1974 and a Booker Prize finalist with a fresh new voice in literature, made it even more appealing. From the very beginning I was ...
