    <body><![CDATA[A really excellent read.  I'd never read Jeanne Kalogridis before, but I adore her writing style.  Fluid, engaging, descriptive, and so nice to read.  In the first part of this story, we hear the tale of how Lisa's life events were set into motion.  The Medici family, the most powerful family in Flo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/77310503">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Great vacation read... it's long and just fun.  Has a lot about Renaissance Florence.  It's really hard for me to believe that much of the stuff about the Medici, Leonardo, &amp; Michelangelo's relationships with each other is true.  It seems very very embellished.  Either way it's fun and entertaining....<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76499166">more...</a>]]></body>
