I love this book, it's one of my favourites. I've read it several times and each time it gets even more interesting and I get more out of it.

I just finished it for my European History class, yesterday actually! I thought it was interesting, but I probably would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't been under the pressure of having to read 100 pages per day.
Some parts were a bit unbelievable - the whole philosophy course and Sophie's interest in it made me a little incredulous, but oh well. Still a good book!
Yes trying to read 100 pages a day would really spoil it. Philosophy really needs to be read slowly so you can think about the arguments.
I didn't think that Sophie's interest in the course was unbelievable but that's cause I was interested in it too
