After reading bits of this book for over a year and getting 3/4 of the way through, I had finally decided that I did not want to waste anymore of my time on it, so I DNFed it. I think I just had a particularly difficult time reading this because the treatment of women, despite being historically accurate, gave me the ick. So much so I could only read a bit at a time, then I had to read something else entirely, then read a bit more, and so on (hence over a year). I kept trying because it was well-written, and I do find learning about his life very interesting. I just think I'd rather learn about it from Wikipedia than through a novelization.
