Casanova was an interesting dude who did a lot of very interesting and sometimes brilliant things. He also seemed to have an uncanny ability to seduce women and make them believe he would marry them, but then he'd run away. He also sexually assaulted half of them in the first place.
And then there was the BLATANT GANG RAPE.
I can't get over that one.
No matter what else Casanova did in his life, no matter how great and amazing and intelligent he was...he does not deserve the title of "seduction Genius," and I'm still pretty upset that the author portrayed him in such a positive light, almost glossing over the explicit and unavoidable gang rape.
It's still a very thorough biography that includes plenty of context and information on everything going on in the world during Casanova's lifetime. (
