Sophie's Worldd.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sophie's World : The Greek Philosophers (Paperback)
This book is not exactly what it says on the tin!!!!It begins with a great deal of story and edges in the philosophy gentley to try and help you stay interested but to be honest it doesn't quite work!! The philosophy parts are great and really do touch on many of the key points but the story Gaarder has tried to intertwine is really not good. This is a book with no clear motive and though at times interesting the apperance on Sophie and her mother in the stroyline parts leads your heart to sink!!

Good succinct overview on the major Greek philosophers,
By Lennart Holmquist "EuroTraveler.biz" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sophie's World : The Greek Philosophers (Paperback)
The previous reviewer named 'A Reader' has written a review on the wrong book. I believe he/she meant to review 'Sophie's World: A Novel About the History of Philosophy.' This is a different book by the same author.'Sophie's World: the Greek Philosophers' is a well-written, readable, succinct booklet on some of the major Greek philosophers including the 'natural philosophers' and the philosophers of Athens. Great book for those who know little or nothing about Greek philosophy, and want a quick overview.

This review is from: Sophie's World : The Greek Philosophers (Paperback)
Sophies World is inscribed in my brain. Two years ago , I finished the book while teaching 6 th graders.My friend loaned the book to me and I disliked sending it back to her for fear I would not have it for references. This year I am teaching History to High school and middle school. During our lesson on the Greeks; Sophies World came to mind. I tried to buy 5 copies for my friends. This is still my intent. I would wish my students to read the story. It makes a fantastic outloud read as well.This book is great . Buy it.

Sophie's World : The Greek Philosophers by Jostein Gaarder,

This review is from: Sophie's World : The Greek Philosophers (Paperback)
I'm not sure what went wrong, or whether I misunderstood, but the book I received was exactly the same as the novel "Sophie's World - a novel about the history of philosophy", not specifically on the Greek philosophers. Either the advertisement is misleading, or I received the wrong book.
