Helpful Score: 1

This is an intelligent read, engaging story in easy chapters. It goes far beyond the mere scope of the historical account, written in novel form, and surprised me with its offbeat, sly humor and engaging relationships. I read it all in one day - but I can tell that it will sit with me for much, much longer. Might read again. Just the story of an 18th century German intellectual philosopher, who curiously falls in love with a dull, simple 12-year-old girl - well, it's a story that defies description.
