Book Review of Ishmael

Ishmael
Ishmael
Author: Daniel Quinn
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed Billiant book that everyone should read! on


I came across this book when it was assigned in my Philosophy course. I have never been assigned reading where I actually thanked the instructor for the selection afterwards.

This book is truly a simple, yet stunning look at our place within the world. Although the deus ex machina in this quick read at first seems cooky - it allows Quinn to tenderly convey his vital message.

This is a book that once you read it, you'll want to buy copies for everyone you know. I loved it - and I think that anyone who contemplates the world around them will find themselves happy they found this book.
