Michelangelo's Notebook
Michelangelo's Notebook | Paul Christopher
2 posts | 7 read | 3 to read
Life may imitate art...but death follows it. While studying art history at New York University, brilliant and beautiful Finn Ryan makes a startling discovery: a Michelangelo drawing of a dissected corpse-supposedly from the artist's near-mythical notebook. But that very night, someone breaks into her apartment-murdering her boyfriend and stealing the sketches she made of the drawing. Fleeing for her life, Finn heads to the address her mother had given her for emergencies, where she finds the enigmatic antiquarian book dealer, Michael Valentine. Together, they embark on a desperate race through the city-and through the pages of history itself-to expose an electrifying secret from the final days of World War II-a secret that lies in the dark labyrinthine heart of the Vatican.

Mehso-so

I was really excited to read this book, but honestly, it was disappointing. I felt like there should have been more action involved. As another reviewer on here said, there are better historical fiction books out there.

Not about Michelangelo or his notebooks at all. Treats women like objects to be leered at. Unable to connect plot threads in any way. Save yourself some time. There are good historical thrillers out there. This ain't one of them.
