A review by ellasiblik
Ishmael by Daniel Quinn
4.0
Not as groundbreaking as it wants to believe it is. I do think people could benefit from the introduction to the ideas presented in the book, however I don’t believe a large number of individuals would be completely shocked by what Ishmael has to say.
As someone who enjoys (or drives herself crazy?) ruminating on thoughts such as these, it was nice to experience them in a more logical layout. I don’t feel like my world view was altered by this read, (besides the Genesis interpretation which fascinated me) but I doubt a 60s counterculture obsessed environmental studies & philosophy student was really the book’s target audience.
I believe that any book I can fly through in a day is a worthwhile read. Check it out! I’d love to hear others’ opinions.
