Perhaps a text copy of this humorous explanation of different philosophies would have been a better format than the audio form. Still it was entertaining until it became wearing with one joke after another illustrating the kind of philosophy.the humor mirrored. The ending was a killer. It ticked off a timeline of philosophers followed by a complementary gag line. That was a vaudeville, rapid-fire funny summary, begging for a rimshot (or a hook)!

I liked this book very much! Informational and funny. I read it like a book and not as a textbook so I can't really tell you to much but I liked reading it and getting my brain moving, thinking through the different philosophies. 4 stars!

An all time favorite book. It makes heady thick cumbersome concepts digestible, understandable, and hilarious.

A Fun read but I preferred the subsequent book that included Aristotle who goes to Washington. A good fun overview of philosophy via some great jokes!
