Title: Ishmael
Review: I never thought that I could learn so much from a talking gorilla. While the ideas presented in Ishmael were very interesting and held my attention, the book as a whole was not that special. There were few truely original ideas in the book and there really is no plot. In fact, it would make more sense for Quinn to put these ideas into an essay rather than somehow stuff a talking gorilla and his student into the novel. Ishmael also talks constantly about how we will believe everything that "Mother Culture" tells us to believe and calls us fools for having believed what we have been told. Yet, in the end, the book is asking us to blindly follow Quinn's ideas on the world just as blindly as we have followed our previous beliefs. While this was a good book and deserves to be read, make sure that you keep an open mind. Ishmael presents many problems and yet does not present many solutions, making me hesitant to trust the majority of what is said.
