Irving Stone may be scandalous but he is a good writer. If you love Michelangelo, the Pieta, or sculpture (artists or sculptors), this story is entrancing. The back flap of the dustjacket says this: "In the course of his years of research on Michelangelo, Irving Stone moved his family to Italy, worked in marble quarries, and apprenticed himself to a marble sculptor."
