Written with a tongue-in-cheek style that nevertheless manages to hold the attention through teh whole book. I enjoyed it enormously, and will probably go back and re-read it in a few months.
If you like this you might also like (the slightly more serious) "The Moral of the Story" by Nina Rosenstand.

I'm an academic at a business school. I have found this and the previous volume to be immensely useful in communicating abstract philosophical concepts to eighteen year olds in terms and with references they can understand. Needless to say, as a marketer, any reading on ethics and morality will be new to me :)
If I do prefer the first volume, it is probably because I prefer SF movies to these television shows, but the thinking and clarity are still top-noth and I highly recommend both of these books.

As a philosophy student, I really ought to be reading 'proper' books on the subject, with big thick spines and long, uninteresting chapters on nothing very much. But why should I, when Rowlands is just so much fun?
With each chapter, he offers a refreshing, stimulating look at a certain aspect of philosophy, perfect for either philosophy virgins or those who just need, say, Plato's theory of mind explained in terms of the Sopranos. A positively brilliant experience, this book is just as useful, fun, and interesting as his previous.
