In these uncertain times it's a relief to escape away with one's imagination to a place where all things are equal.

Sir Thomas More gives us that escape. As unlikely as it is, it's a wonderful idea and ideal - especially in this world that we live.

I must admit I was slightly disappointed when I noticed Utopia was available for peanuts--$3 on chapters. I read this for the first time second year of University. As an English major and history enthusiast I was surprised I hadn't gotten around to reading it before. Utopia, not a word of a lie, changed my life. I know it is satire, but if you truly think about the words he is saying, you will laugh out loud, yell and shout in agreement and just enjoy yourself. Utopia is worth the read, it was far from boring for 16th century literature.

This book is an excellent affront to modern day capitalism. In amazing detail More satires the rise of idustustrialism and its individual emphasis. A must read for those interested in political change.
