Dream Weaver, The: One Boy's Journey Through the Landscape of Reality (Anniversary Edition)

Makes you think.

This was a really thought-provoking read that stimulated a lot of discussion. The writing style of the story was a little stilted, but the content itself was spot on.

I picked this up for a Philosophy class that I ended up having to drop. Went ahead and read the book anyways and very glad I did. Lots of good ideas and ways to look at things I hadn't already considered. Works as a good primer across a broad spectrum of philosophical ideas. The novel like format helps to keep you engaged if you're reading it for longer periods and the facts and side notes help keep the material fresh. I'd definitely recommend it for college work or pleasure reading alone.

This book plays a crucial role in a field surprisingly devoid of well executed, unbiased introductory philosophical novels. If you're new to philosophy, teaching students who are new to philosophy, or just looking to refresh your memory on key concepts and thinkers, this thorough yet accessible text is exactly what you're looking for.

Beautiful book about philosophy, and generally a beautiful novel. I enjoyed reading it very much, it would have been even better to do so at a younger age. I recommend it to youngsters passionate about literature, philosophy or just knowledge.

I purchased this book for a philosophy class I was taking and it was ok. I kept hoping to lose myself in the concepts as the professor hoped we would but I didn't. The author did a good job of discussing difficult concepts in a story like voice which was helpful at times.

This was an absolutely fantastic book that really makes you think about the way you see the world around you. It was a requirement to read this for my college philosophy class, and I'm VERY happy that I did.

used for class, of course

good points, like the first half.
