The Collector of Lives: Giorgio Vasari and the… af Ingrid Rowland
This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.This would be fantastic for an art history major who speaks basic Italian. Others may find it a bit dry. The fifth disc did not work properly on the CD audiobook. I think that is unacceptable. What I did hear of the audio book was great. But I recommend listening to it on audible because the CD's are poorly manufactured. You will need to get the book in print so you can see pictures of the artwork being discussed. The CD does not include a booklet of pictures, -1/2 star.
½This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.I received an early review copy of the audio book CD version of "The Collector of Lives: Giorgio Vasari and the Invention of Art" by Ingrid Rowland and had hoped to listen to it during my commute. But this book is not an easy-to-listen-to-in-the-car sort of book. The narrator pronounces the Italian wonderfully, but when you are not familiar with the people and place names, it is easy to lose focus on the spoken words. You start to hear a pretty-sounding but meaningless syllables.
I agree with the other reviewers that this book really need an accompanying booklet so we can see the portraits of the "collected lives" as well as the artwork that is being described.
Sadly, the audio glitch on the 5th CD provided enough of an interruption that I never did finish the book.… (mere)

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.What a delightful audiobook!
Much of the art history was familiar to me, but the story of biographer Giorgio Vasari was not. The authors deliver a lot of historical & biographical detail, but provides reminders along the way so that all those Medici and popes don't run together in the listener's mind. The narrator's voice is pleasant, and her delivery is varied and lively. (I will be seeking out other audiobooks she has read.) She handled the Italian names skillfully, but enunciated carefully enough that I could recognize them from my textbooks years ago.
It might be nice if there was a companion booklet in the audiobook's case with small reproductions of the various artists' work, but I very much enjoyed the story without that.
Two of the discs (#5 and one other) had flaws so I missed portions of the text.

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.I received a CD version of this book through LibraryThing's Early Reviewers program. It's reasonably interesting, but not suited to audio book format, given that it focuses on visual arts. I enjoyed stretches of this, but overall it felt poorly organized. If you love art history, you may appreciate it. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend it—at least not in audio book format.
