Flatland deserves the reputation is has for being a very concise and fun story about a man who learns his universe is so much bigger than expected.
The society of Flatland is comically fucked up and really fun to hear laid out, I particularly liked how the main character is sort of a snobbish arse, really unlikeable.
And the revelations that come after the halfway point are great, especially line land and the somewhat confusing explanation of Space land.

Creative and curious, and short. So short, which I liked. The author never gets too carried away as to bore the reader. A simple and somewhat silly story, but enjoyable.
I made numerous attempts to finish Flatland and finally found the opportunity to read it in one sitting. The concept is novel, but it’s a joyless experience.
Nice illustration of the meaning of dimensions, but kind of... well, flat. I guess I didn't pick up on the "satire of Victorian England" in 6th grade.
I didn’t expect a book about shapes to be so incredibly sexist.
