Sophie's World: A Novel about the History of Philosophy by Jostein Gaarder

2.0

I wanted to like it more, if for no other reason than the fact that I've had it on my bookshelf since 1999--that's 31 years!--but this wasn't the book I hoped it would be. The book-within-a-book structure
Spoilerand the characters who became self-aware
just added to the surreality. I love philosophy, but even the philosophic lessons within couldn't save it for me.
