review 1: A quite funny philosophical exploration into 3 questions, all of which read the same. As the author suggest the subject could be "What is the point of life?" or "Does God exist?" but he does a great job with Santa as the subject. There is logic, and mysticism and comedy. Some parts of the books threw me but I put that up to my lack of sleep although he wades into some very deep discussion of the "unlimited".
review 2: If you are looking for a happy Christmas story, this isn't Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus. If you are looking for a book of philosophy explaining how logic works, this is the book. Interesting and sometimes amusing, but don't buy this thinking you'll sit around the Christmas tree entertaining the kiddies before they go to bed.I must add tha... moret the illustrations are witty and delightful to look at.I didn't dislike this book but the author, Eric Kaplan, was a graduate student in philosophy when he wrote this and it shows. less
