Interesting material, didn’t care for the narrator

The narrators voice was robotic and was not engaging. I’d recommend this book on kindle rather than audio

A degree refresher

This book hits the highlights and connects it all together in an easily understood sense without any bias

Better for Beginners

I've been teaching art and art history for years. So this didn't do much for me. However, it would be great for those new to art history and for students.

Horribly boring

Bland. Written by a robot. Could not get through more than an hour of it.
