dyartemis 's review for:

Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder
3.0

3.5 stars
rating this book is a bit challenging because I have picked it up several times and never got into it.
and now I finally did!

it's definitely not a light read. You might need to read a chapter three or four times to fully absorb the information the book contains.
this novel is like a brief summary for philosophy and the history of the world. I highly recommend it, it has a nice twist that I didn't see coming. my problem with the book is the lack of coherence, I didn't like the dialogues, the sequence of events seemed rather absurd.
all in all I liked it.
