Sophie's World - Jostein Gaarder

Did you read it? It's a REAL mindopener! It's about philosophy but it's a novel, so the writer teaches you about famous philosoper's but he tells you a weird story as well. the plot is really odd and unexpected. There's a movie about it as well! But I haven't seen much of that...

I tried to read this when I was about 11. I struggled through, got bored, picked it up again, struggled some more and eventually forgot about it.
But it is a very interesting book, and now that I'm actually studying philosophy I'm going to have to pick it up again and give it a read 
There was a sequel too, and some more philosophically minded books by Jostein Gaarder. If you enjoyed 'Sophie's World' you should have a look for them - good reads

hmmm. i think i started a thread on this book a while back but anywhere. i've read sophie's world but i think 'the solitaire mystery' is a bit lighter and more interesting.

I loved it, but I read it for the last time when I was 9, so I don't remember too much. I recommend it to every kid who wants to know more about philosophy. It's great!

I'm in the process of reading it (our teachers are making us read it a bit at a time to last the year)
Its pretty good though- I think it lags in places but its still a good book

I read it and I liked it a lot though there were parts where I really had to force myself to keep reading. But I'm happy that I finished it, it's absolutely worthwhile.

I started reading the first few pages before I was kicked out of the library for first years but I thought it was really good.

You dont have to love in words, cause even through the silence, love is always heard

I've read it a few years ago, liked it a lot.
I just don't understand what philosophy has to do with religion  I would recommend it to everyone, religious or not.
