This book gave me a new look into greek art. I have read a lot of books about this period and I found that Robin Osborne added new viewpoints. I liked his style of writing, it invited me to read on.
Well, once you get past Osbornes pedantic writing, its an informative treatment of the subject. But, doesnt most academic writing suffer from the "write-like-its-a-lecture" syndrome? I guess Ill always be a scientist at heart, never a humanist.
