Summary

A great Ruskin book that is better listened to than read because of the complexity and detail of his writing. Hence he is much discussed but rarely read.

Ruskin's ponderous prose is made much more dull by the monotonous voice of the reader and a repetitive piano in the background. I gave up after an hour
