It is after knowing countless women that he is convinced by the Marquis to keep a diary, and it is here within its pages that Don Juan reveals his greatest adventures and the Arts of Passion he mastered. But what finally compels him to confess everything and risk losing his life, livelihood, and honor is the most perilous adventure of all -- the irresistible fall into the madness of love with the only woman who could ever make him forget all others.
Very, very slow start. I almost gave up on it, but got stubborn, and it did improve enough for me to feel it wasn't a waste of time to finish. I know nothing about the original story of Don Juan, so I don't know how accurate it was.
