#50BookPledge Book 17 Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder from Renaissance Press, 2007
Sophie's World is an interesting novel. I wasn't thrilled with the premise of the book to start with but is quickly became something I didn't mind listening to while working around the house. For someone with a passing interest in philosophy the author does a good job reviewing the key philosophers throughout history through the 1990s. Sophie's World was the perfect book for me on this subject and also works for a young adult since the main character, Sophie, is a 14 almost 15 year old girl. While not for everyone, Sophie's World might well be your best introduction to the complex and every changing world of philosophy.
