I found the book underwhelming as well, and tedious to read. I cannot remember much from the part I managed (first quarter, approximately), except the idea that philosophy has made progress, revealed through the rhetoric device of having ordinary modern people teach and enlighten Plato himself on aspects of philosophy (eg morality of slavery).

Seems to me though that one could make that point directly just as memorably, without the entire narrative artifice.

Not as gripping and informative as the books of (her husband) Steve Pinker, IMHO.
