From the Paper:

"And it's the aspect of motivation that ultimately separates Marius from other biographers. While there's a lot of detail to the twice-married father and his devoted family life, it also chronicles, with detail and interest, the machinations of More's daily life."
"While there have been many books either dedicated exclusively to More or feature him, Marius biography provides such a well-written account (hence rendering it completely readable), filled with factual history and stories and observations that aren't found anywhere else. It's Marius' objectivity and his innate non-judgmental stance throughout that make his biography, in this reviewer's opinion, the definitive."
