Sophie's World: A Novel About the History of Philosophy Audiobook (Unabridged)

" A little too simplistically written. It *is* a YA novel, however. "

" When I read this book, I m not only read some philosophy novel but also detective adventure story :) Really Make my curriousity increasing "

" Not for me. Didn't finish. Maybe I'll pick it up later. "

" This is a very good book for a beginning glimpse of philosophy. I recommended to all three of our boys to read . I recommend it to anyone wanting to brush up on basic Western philosophy. "

" What an illuminating, thought-provoking, wondrous little book. Left me in such a state of awe and wonder about who we are, where we come from, and what it all means. I didn't know a stitch about philosophy, so to have this accessible and engaging crash course was an absolute boon for the soul! "

" I really enjoyed this book. Very thought provoking. "

" It was a good lesson in history and philosophy. Felt repetitive towards the end of the book but was very interesting. maybe could have used more action or planning, as it lost some of its mystery as the book continued on. Interesting views of life in the book worth a look. "

" My Favorite textbook for PHILOSOPHY! "

" One day, 14-year-old Sophie Amundsen comes home from school to find two notes in her mailbox, "

" Very interesting book. One of my favorite books. Ending not as good as the rest of the book "

" One of the first book that I read and really felt in love with! "

" An introductory to philosophy....all time favorite....a must-read for kids~~~ "

" Great introduction to Western philosophy "

" It was a great introduction and overview of philosophy written in a very accessible way. In the beginning I enjoyed the book (albeit in small doses to let the ideas sink in) but then the plotline outside of the philosophy 'lessons' got bizarre. When I finished the book I was left with no fondness. "

" finally! good book tapi bagi aku susah sikit nak digest. kadang aku lupa apa fakta sejarah yang aku dah baca daripada muka surat yang lepas2 pun. kalau aku dapat buku ni masa tingkatan 6 dulu mesti sejarah aku bagus. "

" This book was a great review of the history of western philosophy. I truly enjoyed the mystery and the twist at the end. Simon Vance, my favorite narrator, read the book so it was especially enjoyable! "

" I'm reading this for school it's really good there is a lot of thinking you have to put in to it though "

" As literature, I wasn't impressed. The story's concept was interesting, but the execution left something to be desired. It did have, however, a lot of good information and I felt it was a worthwhile read. "

" When this book was released in 1994, I first heard about it on NPR. I bought a copy which my son and I both read. It was thoroughly enjoyable. This is a painless way for children and adults to learn about philosophy and the great questions in life. "

" mind boggling amount of facts, totally absorbing, great "

" I read this for English class in 11th grade. It tries to simplify the ideas of the philosophers, and at least provides the basic jist. It is a little tough to get through, but worth it overall (as I recall). "

" It's a good book and easy to understand "

" It's a bit difficulty for me because there are many new word in it, but I'll finish it. "

" have read it before but brillinat book "

" I really enjoyed this, but it was a little over my head at the time. I had to rush to read it because it was for school, but I imagine that if I took my time with it in order to really understand it I would have enjoyed it more. "

" This is an excellent book, not only in the informative sense, but in the literary one as well. He tells an really fun story, and you learn much about philosophy in the process of just enjoying yourself. Highly recommended. "

" Read this almost 10 years ago. It was strange and pretty interesting, but I remember liking it a lot "

" I read this book during my Philosophy class in college, and it couldn't have come at a better time. Philosophical discussion combined with characters so in depth it makes you question your own reality, SOPHIE'S WORLD is a treat for the imagination and brain alike. "
