The first 100 pages were fairly slow, but after that I enjoyed it quite a bit. (12/23/04)

Not horrible like “Digital Fortress” but not particularly exciting either. A mediocre but mildly and briefly entertaining book. (12/23/04)

It was fairly entertaining, but the ending left something to be desired. (12/24/04)

I didn’t like this book as much as Complicty, The Wasp Factory, or Song of Stone, but it was still enjoyable. (1/03/05)

Absolutely wonderful. I will definitely read Calvino’s other works. (1/03/05)

A very interesting collection of essays. Although I don’t know much about former Yugoslavia or the publishing industry, I found Ugresic’s comments on publishing, culture, and globalisation fascinating. (1/03/05)

Very interesting. It focuses on the psychology of persuation and provides somewhat practical advise to detect and avoid political and corporate propaganda. (1/03/05)

A fascinating, well-written history of the Greek tradition of rational thought in early Christianity. (1/03/05)

I enjoyed reading these stories, although I wish they had been more numerous. (1/04/05)

I won’t really be able to evaluate this book until I have read more about philosophy, but it was enlightening to someone with as little knowledge about the subject as I. (1/04/05)
