Title: excellent
Product review: This was my introduction to Barfield, and while I enjoyed the book immensely, bringing up countless questions I will enjoy pursuing further, if you are looking for the satisfaction found in a Platonic dialogue, where all confusion is cleared away by tight dialogue and terse definitions, this may not be the one for you. Because the characters' "time is limited" and the conversations cover so many subjects, the reading tends to be rather discursive, leaving loose ends untied. Clearly this was the author's intention, but it wasn't what I expected. It often requires the reader to either carry the logic on out past the conversation to draw a conclusion, or refrain from doing so altogether. Of course his attempt to discuss these subjects objectively completely makes up for it!5 stars for blowing my mind and getting me excited to give a go at Saving the Appearances. "Very deep water" indeed..
