Book Reviews of On Love and Death
Book Review: A great way to experience a new author
Summary: 4 Stars
"On Love and Death" is a compelling and stimulating read, the kind of book that takes you back to your best philosophy class in college taught by your favorite professor. With luck it will signal the start of a series of essays like this: short books--this one just 76 pages--that assure you that no matter how busy you are, you do have time to read it. (If I lived in New York, this would be my subway book.) The single-essay-as-book format is also an excellent way to become acquainted with an author you may not have read before. I confess, I wasn't familiar with Patrick Suskind, but after "On Love and Death," I'll make it a point to read his other work.
