To write a biography of John Paul II, George Weigel leaves with advantage. He is a Professor of Ethics as the subject, and well known for his articles about religion and public life. Weigel also understands and professes the Catholic faith. If we add his privileged access to very close collaborators to the Pontiff and several hours of encounters with the Pope himself, the result should overcome any precedent biographies. We are before a work of remarkable dimensions, with two very clear parts: before and after the Cardinal's Wojtyla election like as Pontiff. Weigel has spoken with many direct witnesses of the polish times of the Pope's life, which gives this section of the work the freshness and novelty than the pontificate years of his work back. He gives the impression that these years are dominated by the documents, the speeches and the points of view, while he losses the essence of the inher character .

This is an excellent book, a bit heavy to read but very interesting. It allows you to know the thoughts and actions of the Juan Pablo II, and his circunstance. For catholics is a guide of the doctrine of the church.
