thepavol 's review for:
Sophie's World
by Jostein Gaarder
If you want to have a good overview of history of philosophy, this is right book for you. Whole history is very nice explained, well written and quiet interesting reading (comparing to my philosophy class at high school, which I didn't enjoy it not one bit).
The problem for me with this book is the dialogues and the main character. I just didn't like Sophie and at the end of the book I was annoyed with each word she said. She seemed to me that she was quit mean or rude to her mother and when she was speaking with philosopher, she was responding in very short and pointless sentences, it was like you just need to put some response there. So I got distracted and annoyed by that.
So I like it as book for philosophy class but not as a novel.
