Unironically read Hitler instead and after that pick up Schopenhauer's 'On Women' if you want to really learn about how the world works

I found the book mildly entertaining. Of course, however, I majored in philosophy at uni so I found most of the information regarding the history of philosophy to be lacking depth. It would probably be a great book for beginners to the subject but I was unable to finish it because I got bored with the rehashed information and the main plot didn't grab my attention.

I read it when I was 11 and it was a great ride, to be honest. I found the story entertaining - it certainly has elements of meta-fiction and likewise reflections in the storyline alone. The philosophical parts are quite shallow though, that's why I consider it a children's book.

Grow up, anon :-')

shut up cuck

Interesting from a basic philosophy standpoint. Good introduction for anyone wanting to get a creative overview. Read it in a high school TOK class

Thanks for the input.
My uncle recommend it a couple of years ago, So I decided to try it out.

It's ok if you want a very light intro to philosophy together with a so-so story. My aunt read the first half but then stopped because she "felt her world was falling apart".
