Why are people downvoting and flagging this comment? The top and bottom are literal quotes from The Little Schemer and the rest is just a short review of the books and an honest assessment of the trouble with the Socratic method (it doesn't work for everyone).

Because it's a weird comment that looks like spam and is basically incomprehensible for it until you added context. Thanks for doing that, btw.
The Little _________ books themselves are strange, you will either get them or you won't. So it is already a binary classification. The books don't follow a normal book like flow and its basically a giant teacher-student like 1 - 1 mentoring-- building the lesson up from basic axioms, revealing the rules of play slowly, and helping you discover the concepts yourself along the way.
