Leonardo’s shadow is an interesting book about Leonardo da Vinci’s servant.

It’s set in the 1400s, when Da Vinci is painting The Last Supper in Milan. Basically, Leonardo is working on his flying device instead of the painting…and racking up huge debts.

There’s plenty of funny dialog, a bit of action, and the hilarious thoughts of the servant (the book is written in a hybrid first-person style).

Leonardo’s Shadow is interesting, thought-provoking, and enjoyable to read. I’d recommend reading it. If your local library has it, try it. If you have something to say about it, fell free to comment.
