fanniberger's review against another edition
4.0
újraolvasással kezdtem az évet, hogy felfrissítsem egy kicsit a nemlétező filozófia-tudásom. Még mindig nagy vállalkozásnak tartom a Sofie világát, és imádom a koncepcióját, de így 25 éves fejjel már azért éreztem, hogy nem nekem írodott, néhány helyen nagyon redundáns volt és túl sokat ismételt. Ennek ellenére szerintem tényleg fontos könyv, jó hogy elkészült, és ha lenne tini lány ismerősöm, akit érdekel egy kicsit a filozófia, biztosan ajánlanám neki.

This was actually a surprisingly good book. I never really cared for philosophy in school as it was never explained in a way that made it not confusing. This book did a good job of making it clearer although it still had some parts that were hard to follow particularly toward the end. It had a definite Alice in Wonderland type vibe to it which made it more intriguing and kept me wanting to read it. Overall, a unique and interesting read.

Full disclosure: I knew that I wouldn't like this book when I started because I don't care for Philosophy (read it as part of a book club). About halfway through, I found that I was interested in the story structure and mid-way plot twist. I appreciated what Gaardner was trying to accomplish but the pieces came together poorly in the end and I found myself disappointed and underwhelmed with the end, especially after the build-up of the parallel story lines.

A good book to read, as a crash course through the history of philosophy. This course is wraped into the story of Hilde and Sophie, which gives life to the course. Not my cup of tea, but interesting enough if you like this type of books. I read it as a part of a course.

A fun crash-course in philosophy, with a charming story to package it in.

Disappointing. I couldn't stand the character of Sophie and the philosophy parts were far too simple to be interesting. I definitely could not understand why so many people loved it.

Dense, and slow to get through. Sometimes frustrating. But very informative. I took an into philosophy course in college, and so some of it was just review for me, but it elucidated well some of the more complicated points of some philosophers' views. It would probably do me well to reread the book to review, but I just can't bring myself to do that.
Also, does it frustrate anyone else that apparently that book can be read in like a day? Haha.
