What Members Thought
Brilliant! A fascinating look at one, two and three dimensions from the point of view of a square in one dimension. Thought provoking and thoroughly enjoyable read.
This book apart from being a good guide to teaching the concepts of dimensions using mathematical figures, is also a satirical commentary of class of Victorian society. The satire in this is book is applicable to any society, any age and any domain where unjust discrimination exists.

DNF. It started out intriguing and clever, but for me, there was too much focus on creating direct analogies to every aspect of the Victorian world and became tedious.
