I was expecting great things in this book from a thinker I deeply admire. Unfortunately it has nothing new to say and has no chance of convincing anyone on either side of the fence. I'm not a big reader, I rarely read anything approaching philosophy...

Easy to read, page turner of a novel whose main character is Peter, a bullied teenager, who heads into high school one morning armed and kills ten people. I found many of the characters to be cliched and a bit one dimensional. But despite that the...
