Starts off slow...

5 stars

This one starts off a bit slower than other Discworld novels, but as soon as it starts picking up speed, it never backs down.

Pratchett is as original and as funny as ever in this adventure that's noticeably closer to our world than previous novels.

Review of 'Les philosophes hellénistiques, tome 2 ' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

The book is certainly very interesting, but as a reader with little to no background in philosophy, it is very dense. I might have to read it again in a few years to get more out of it.

In any case, the combination of original texts grouped by theme with analysis from modern commenters gives the book a nice sense of progression, with every chapter building on the ideas introduced in the previous one.
