Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Alfred Molina’s narration is easy to follow…The author’s sometimes detailed passages seem natural, and Molina’s cultured accent adds to the listening pleasure without seeming like an affectation. His fluency with Italian names helps keep the reading flowing. The PDF is a visual treat and is referenced throughout the work, so listeners will want to refer to it regularly to get the full benefit of the author’s analysis. Nonetheless, the reading stands on its own. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.” AudioFile
“Isaacson’s acclaimed biography of the artist and inventor is narrated by actor Molina, whom you might recognize from Boogie Nights or—wait, is this some kind of conspiracy?—The Da Vinci Code.” Los Angeles Times (audio review)
“A tour through the life and works of one of the most extraordinary human beings of all time and in the company of the most engaging, informed, and insightful guide imaginable. Walter Isaacson is at once a true scholar and a spellbinding writer.” David McCullough, Pulitzer Prize-winning author
“A powerful story of an exhilarating mind and life….the book is a study in creativity: how to define it, how to achieve it.” New Yorker
“[Leonardo] comes to life in all his remarkable brilliance and oddity.” Washington Post
“A masterpiece.” San Franciso Chronicle
