Summary: The Book Rocks
Comment: As my title suggests, this book does indeed rock.
Everyone should read it, preferably between the ages of 14 and 18. I don't think too young of a reader would fully be able to grasp it depth, and while certainly a great read for an adult, some "older" people may be too stuck in their ways to really entertain some of the ideas presented in the book. It helps you understand and identify bad reasoning, and opens your mind to incredibly interesting notions that may have never occurred to you before. I am currently reading the book for the second time and am a little over halfway through, and am still enjoying it very much. It's like an activity book for philosophy and you can pick it up any time, turn to any page, and find an enjoyable exercise in thought.

Summary: Great
Comment: While I read plenty of philosophy before reading this book, I don't think I was ever properly introduced to philosophy until I read this book.

Although I read the whole thing cover to cover, I think one of the best features of this book is that you can pick it up and turn to any page whenever you need to do some thinking.

In my experience, this is the best introduction of philosophical thinking that I have read. I also agree with another reviewer who says this should be required reading for teenagers. The problems and paradoxes presented in this book definately inspire one to think "freely", outside the bounds of your usual patterns.

Also, it's a lot of fun.

Summary: A lot of fun
Comment: While not exactly the most serious philisophical work available, this book is entertaining and enlightening. A good choice for someone just being introduced to philosophy or for a more experienced reader looking to have some fun after a few works by Cont or the like.
