Almost two years removed, there isn't too much I can say about Sophie's World anymore. I had a lot to say, just never much time to put those thoughts into a post. So, this review will be short.
I enjoyed reading Sophie's World. I thought the approach to teaching philosophy was very effective (and entertaining). Gaarder, especially in the first half of the book, is very successful at explaining what each of the philosophers and schools is all about; later in the book, though, the thread becomes more difficult to follow as the story itself takes a few surrealist turns. Overall, though, a great philosophy primer!
