Review: The Prince
The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I had been expecting something more dry and boring. The Prince was a far quicker read than I thought it would be. Machiavelli doesn’t bother with flowery terms or dragging out his points.
It’ll be good to see how it compares to Erasmus’ The Education of a Christian Prince
