i enjoyed reading this but days after i've finished, not much remains in my mind of it. i think a wonderful primer for those who haven't read much philosophy.

This veered from incredibly insightful to overly dense and slow. As someone with very little philosophy experience, I found it a helpful primer to some of the basic issues and approaches.

Talks about the always uncomfortable topics of human existence: grief, injustice, failure and absurdity but it ends with the topic of hope. I like that it refers to hope in a realistic way.
