"Coming in at just over 100 pages this was probably the hardest read.. ever."
"While I think that some people may still subscribe to a lot of his war mongering and deceitful ways I don't think anyone would classify someone like that as a good leader today."
"I disagree with his assertion that all men are inherently selfish and wicked. I don't think this is a particularly sophisticated view of mankind."
"It was filled with archane references to Italian lords of little import that I had never heard of."
