review 1: There were three or four moments in reading this book where I found myself happily re-reading a sentence, or thinking that a particular insight was well presented. The rest of the time I was more or less annoyed by the all the questions. Clearly there is no denying the value of questions, particularly to philosophy. On or near the 20th page of this little book, I began to wonder if there was some correlation between the viceral annoyance I was experiencing reading a book which asks far to many questions and my general impatience with philosophy. I would consider the premise of this book almost an interesting idea, but not one worthy of publication. Indeed questions are important, but somehow Kurlansky goes too far -- to that place where questions become a tool for annoyanc... moree, like a younger sibling on a long car ride.By the time I reached the final page, the only question on my mind "why did I just read that book?"
review 2: Is this a book review or just a list of questions? Is a list of questions a book review if the book being reviewed is composed entirely of questions?Can this book be read in one sitting? Is that one of its best attributes? Is there something increasingly annoying about reading one question after another? Are there any answers in this book? Does this book deserve three stars? Did I get anything from it besides a compulsion to make my own endless list of questions? less
