If you want a quick, lay philosophy review or introduction, this book works pretty well. I do wish it went into more basic explanation of principles addressed before heading into the joke. I felt that sometimes you had to know (understand) more than the book was laying out before you before could see the connection of the joke. But all in all, it is an effective and entertaining method of getting across philosophy to more of the masses (especially if they can take a joke). And, heck, even if your bag or half-full cup of tea is not Plato and the rest of the gang, the jokes are really great fun all by themselves. In fact, I find myself using them to make points to people in various settings including in my academic position at a medical school. And philosophical points at that! Neat.

I love the book, because it skip the noise and get to the point. I am not Joking,:-)). And neither the authors of this book.

The perfect resource for sounding smart and funny at parties.
