A rather unique read. As others have said, it's pretty interesting to see this man from so long ago speak about such things that are still relevant even today.
I didn't find it particularly difficult to follow in terms of wordiness or vocabulary.

This was a surprisingly easy read, given the year it was written, but I think that might be because of the translation- my friend also read it and thought it was very wordy but she has a different edition. Some of More's ideas initially sounded very sensible and relevant even for today's audience, however, as it went on it got more and more ridiculous. For me, it peaked when the importance of religious toleration is emphasised, shortly before the claim that any who don't believe in an afterlife forfeit their right to consideration as a human being. I know this wasn't More's purpose, but it literally made me laugh out loud on several occasions.
ไม่น่าเชื่อว่าเรื่องนี้จะเขียนมาเมื่อ 495 ปี ที่แล้ว...ทำไมอะไรๆ มันช่างดู "ร่วมสมัย" เหลือเกิน ... แสดงว่าแท้จริงแล้ว ... นับจากวันนั้นจีนถึงวันนี้ .. มนุษย์เราพัฒนาแต่ความภายนอก...แต่ความเจริญภายใน...มันหยุดนิ่งอยู่ที่เดิม..ที่ 495 ปีที่แล้ว ... *เศร้า*
