Title: Fast Food Epictetus. Sorry, it does not work!
Product review: I had mixed emotions while reading this book. As far as the content is concerned, I found Epictetus (or at least what is left of him) what I was hoping for, especially after reading "Letters from a Stoic" by Seneca. But unfortunately something did not click with this book. I have to admit that the so called "New Interpretation" by the author has left an overall sense of confusion in me. I personally did not enjoy the translation, interpretation and presentation of the content. While reading this book I almost felt like eating at a fast food of philosophy where great content is thrown down your throat in small bites, just to appeal to a wider audience, maybe in a rush!?!I do not believe this book is worth recommending to anyone. I personally would have preferred to have her comments/interpretations during or after the original content to help readers get closer to Epictetus' words.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
