I must confess I did not read all of this book. I posted it as 299 pages because that is where I gave up. It actually has 461 pages. Those of you really interested in art history and architecture will love this book. The author gets a bit wordy on these subjects to the point where I personally, felt as if I was reading a text book. I am sure this book will make a great movie and I can just see Tom Hanks in the recurring role of Professor Langdon. I just gave up and went on to read something else.
