Did as it was expected to, and I read this for my Philosophy class. I thoroughly enjoyed how the information was portrayed through a frame narrative but sometimes it would lean too much into one style, feeling as if it curbed the ability of the other style to follow-up in a smooth manner. Overall, I was drawn from the start by the cosy vibes of Sophie’s World and I understand why so many use this as their jumping off point for philosophy!
