What Was Your Opinion of The Agony and The Ecstasy by Irving Stone?

This biographical novel of artist, poet, and sculptor Michaelangelo Buonarroti really grabbed my heart and soul. I am forever in love with this novel. What did you think? How did it relate to you personally?

    I loved it! I thought it was a wonderful book. If you liked that, I might recommend St. Francis by Nikos Kazantzakis. (He also wrote Zorba the Greek.) This was also one of the most beautifully written novels I have ever had the pleasure to read.

    I love it too! It made me open up to the great personality and artistic genius of the man. And it’s a pleasure to read.
    As an architect, I am most deeply impressed with Michelangelo’s architectural works, which are beautiful, fascinating, engaging, and deeply original.

  3. I read it when i was in the 7th grade for my literature class. As I recall, I was the only one that liked it.

    For the first time in my life I read the assigned book faster that I was supposed to. It was very entertaining indeed and I hope to read it again. I still own it.

    By the way, a novel is completely fictitious. I realize not everything in the story is true but I would give it more credit than that. ;)

  5. Awesome book. Just don’t bother to see the movie. Ruins it.
    If you loved the book and love Michelangelo read "Michelangelo and the Popes Ceiling" by Ross King.
