Sophie's World as a philosophy history overview

[Drakkith]

Has Anyone Read "Sophie's World"?

I'm almost done with the book "Sophie's World" that a co-worker lent me, and I was wondering if anyone here had also read it. What did you think of it? Was it a good overview of the history of philosophy?

I have to say, the way the book is written is absolutely fantastic in my opinion.

I managed to read 1/4th of it before the final exams last school year. I may finish it some time later. I remembered being fascinated by it, but frankly I can't remember much of the content itself.
