I picked this up on a whim, I have watched bits and pieces of the Good Place, but not the whole thing. I have picked up bits and pieces of philosophy over the years but never read an entire book about it. Pop culture and philosophy seemed like a good entry point, and it was. Easily digestible and entertaining, just knowing the faces that went with the names of the characters was enough to follow the plot lines and quandaries presented here. But like a life of boring eternity, this book could have been shorter. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
