Sayonara, Michelangelo: The Sistine Chapel Restored and Repackaged

Rating:
Summary: Good Riddance, Waldemar Januszczak
Review: I picked up this book at the library while searching for information on the restoration of the Sistine Chapel. Despite the claims of the beautifully designed jacket, this book has nothing to do with anything but Janusczcak's love affair with his own writing. The information relevant to Michelangelo, the Sistine Chapel, Nippon Television, or the restoration process could have been condensed into less than thirty pages. To be fair, I slogged through the entire book, and now I'll never get those minutes of my life back. SAYONARA MICHELANGELO is a celebration of onanistic writing. Facts seem to be nothing more than ornamentation for Januszczak's (deep) purple flights of fancy. This is not a resource for anything but Waldemar's little fantasies, and as a novel, the plot's kinda thin. Save your shekels for one of Amazon's many other fine offerings.

Summary: THIS IS A VERY INTRESTING BOOK-I LIKED IT
Review: THIS IS A BOOK THAT WILL DEFINETLY TEACH YOU ALOT ABOUT ART. BUT I REALLY DON'T THINK THAT THE AUTHOR REALLY KNEW WHAT HE WAS SAYING. THE BOOK DIDN'T HAVE A REAL POINT
