3.0 out of 5 stars Too short, and not worth this rediculous price, February 18, 2006

This review is from: DO WE AGREE?: A Debate Between G.K. Chesterton and Bernard Shaw, with Hilaire Belloc in the chair (Hardcover)

Do not get me wrong, this is a very fun and interesting debate, but it is only 40 or so pages and so does not really give an adequate picture of Chesterton or Shaw. It is very helpful if you are looking into the political views of Chesterton or Shaw, but not much beyond that. I am unsure why it is so insanely expensive, so if you want to read it you should probably get it from a library like I did.

Overall grade: C+

2.0 out of 5 stars Not a good picture of Chesterton's brilliant mind. Not a fun, October 3, 1999

This review is from: DO WE AGREE?: A Debate Between G.K. Chesterton and Bernard Shaw, with Hilaire Belloc in the chair (Hardcover)

I am a great fan of debate and this ain't a great one. There were some points in which it made me smile but overall this TINY little book is not particularly entertaining or informative. Save some effort here. The majority of the book (what there is of it) is spent discussing whether Shaw and Chesterton are socialsts. Two stars may be generous especially considering the price.
