I found this book highly informative. It is well-paced with good story-telling. I seldom felt that the book got bogged down with detail. And there was some clever writing. On the other hand, the tone was too literary for my taste and there was too much use of Italian terms that brought me out of the story. I also felt that the book presumed a level of prior knowledge that I did not have. Overall though, this book is well worth reading. Thank you to Netgalley and Basic Books for the advance reader copy.
