I really enjoyed the slow philosophical nature of this book. Personally I would have preferred a straight novel rather than a story within a story but I can see how this adds additional meaning. This book reminds has the feel of the film "The man from Earth", which was great as well. I'm sure I'll read more by Gaarder in the future.
