I was able to take time in reading this novel because I have been reading this novel for almost over a month. This book took a long time to read because it was hard to comprehend. Like post philosophical books, this book would have been broing if this book was not placed on the form of a story. Nonetheless, the author wrote this book so that it would be interesting and intriguing even to teenagers.
The story starts off in Sophie's house. Before, she never thought of who she was or where she came from. However, one day a letter comes to her. And in it are four words "Do you know yourself?" From that point and on, Sophie starts to wonder about where she came from and who she really is. Soon after, she receives another letter, which developes further on into the world of philosophy. And Sophie finds herself totally intrigued by this philosophy.
Later, she finds out that a professor is sending her these sophisticated letter, and she sets out to finding who he really is. And as she continues on with her journey, mystery after mystery follows. And the story becomes even more interesting.
The teachings that the professor gave away to Sophie took on a Non-Christian view. As a Christian, it was interesting to see how the other people saw Christianity. To them Christianity was not a religion but only another form of philosophy.
I highly recommend this book becuase although the story sometimes loses its attractiveness at times, is highly interesting and informational.
