2.0 out of 5 stars Ugh, November 14, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Protagoras (Paperback)
The most outstanding thing about this book is the translation. Absolutely horrific. The author seems to have tried to modernize the language so it would be accessible to a wider reading audience. Probably an audience of ghetto high school students since charaters are saying things like "What's up?", "It's pretty obvious", and "I guess so." This translation is not worth buying for personal reading, nor is it appropriate to college courses.

That said, the 27 page introduction is quite good and worth reading. It should have been published as a separate essay.
