The debates are pretty fun and thought provoking, as well as easy to understand. The ending is way too fast paced. I guess the point of the book was to reach people philosophy, not really the bet, but it still felt rushed. 

Ben is a sort of annoying main character. Lila is okay, and the relationship between Socrates and Wittgenstein is super interesting. Kind of fruity too. Enemies to lovers arc when?
