"no one knows exactly" diminishes tone of the biography, June 15, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Leonardo Da Vinci: Renaissance Genius (Trailblazer Biographies) (Hardcover)
6/15/04 The Trailblazer biography "Leonardo Da Vinci,Renaissance Genius" by author Barbara O'Connor has many interesting "tidbits and facts", Its major negative is the use of "might" to "maybe" prefacing so many pieces of trivia ;these reminders that all about DaVinci is not documented fact, take away some of the merit of the many facts and photos ,since the reader's seeing a "possibly" or "perhaps" is ongoingly from Pgs 9 - 99(The pgs prior to 9 and after 99,are intro,bibliography, etc. The pictures by the artist chosen by the author to insert were quite fine; the section on "sources for books,websites" as well as "quotes" attributed to DaVinci also were quite a plus.
