Critics Review

A simply wonderful, irresistible book

A marvellously rich book. Its success boils down to something quite simple - Gaarder’s gift for communicating ideas - Guardian

An ALICE IN WONDERLAND for the 90s … already SOPHIE’S WORLD is being talked up as philosophy’s answer to Stephen Hawking’s A BRIEF HISTORY OF TIME … this is a simply wonderful, irresistible book. - Daily Telegraph

Sophie’s World is set to become a unique popular classic: a wonderfully engaging mystery story that also forms a completely accessible and lucid introduction to philosophy and philosophers. - The Times

An extraordinary achievement. - The Sunday Times

A terrifically entertaining and imaginative story wrapped round its tough, thought-provoking philosophical heart. - Daily Mail
