A Great Escape!

Leonardo's Flight is fun and in the category of fun books deserves its five stars. It's not a book for the intellectuals or the literati unless they're willing to let loose and let themselves be carried on the wings of imagination and fancy. This is light entertainment. This is a book to sit down and relax with...and not stop until the last page. It has likeable characters and the plot brings you from one unexpected event to another, some of which gave me the shivers. It is well researched (for instance, Leonardo and Michelangelo were really both in Florence in 1504) and I found Leonardo to be bigger than life, both in his own time and in 1988. Also, I thought that the circumstances that brought Rodney and Leonardo together were a fun peek into interdimensional travelling. My only negative comment is that the final text was not rigorously proofread before going to print. However, I'm sure that all the necessary correctives will be made before the second edition.

A Fantastic Novel

Leonardo`s Flight is definitely a fantastic novel. The idea to use Leonardo da Vinci`s genius to help solve a present day mystery is simply brilliant. I thoroughly enjoyed the way the author portrayed university campus life as it reminded me of my own. Once I started reading Leonardo`s Flight, I couldn't put it down. An excellent thriller.
