Excellent, thoughtful read. I highly recommend discussing with a book club or philosophers club just to hear multiple unique interpretations and ideas.

Reading Plato is almost always fun. Translations ruin the play between two meanings of knowledge, making its orthodox reading as merely an epistemological tekst seem stronger than it is.

2.75 overall. I was most interested in the Forms. This probably wasn't the best book to start off with reading philosophy though.
2 stars for the Theaetetus, because they never came to any conclusions and mostly just talked themselves in circles.
3.5 stars for the Sophist, because here we learned a bit about the forms and ACTUALLY created a formal definition of a Sophist.
