Title: No Better Place to Start
Review: On the one hand, the text of the Pensees can be hard for beginners, even smart ones. On the other hand, textbooks where people tell you what other people thought suck. So Kreeft gives you the main dish, the text of the Pensees itself (nicely categorized topically, rather than the normal rather random fashion), but with his lucid notes interspersed along with helpful illustrations. Pascal is utterly fascinating, you've never read anything like it. It's so mind-blowing at times, it's nice to be accompanied by Kreeft.
