yeconomist 's review for:
Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid
by Douglas R. Hofstadter
While the ideas espoused throughout the book are extremely thought provoking and insightful the content itself is very dense making it hard to understand what is going on at times and to comprehend the point the author was trying to make. I also greatly enjoyed the different type of writing which each chapter preceded by a dialogue and trying to find and see what the ideas in the chapter and the dialogue had in common, with the authors ability to relate the two very impressive. The puzzles for the reader throughout also made reading the book more engaging though sometimes I wish the answers to those puzzles had been more in depth.
