Informative, with dynamic storyline

The reader is ok. I am not proficient in art history, so I've learned quite a bit. The downside of this format is that you will have to search online for the images and videos. Sometimes it's hard to find an artist due to uncertainty about the proper name spelling. Therefore, this book might be better presented on paper, but I am still glad that I've stumbled upon it and listened to the whole thing.
