    <![CDATA[Wanting to understand the most fundamental questions of the  universe isn't  the  province of ivory-tower intellectuals alone, as this book's enormous popularity has demonstrated.  A young girl, Sophie, becomes embroiled in a  discussion of philosophy with a faceless correspondent.  At the same time, she must unravel a mystery involving another young girl, Hilde, by using everything she's learning.  The truth is far more complicated than she  could ever have imagined.]]>

Instead of rushing through it, I let each chapter sink in before I moved on.<br/><br/>But that’s, you know, rati...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/21825601">more...</a>]]></body>
