A very dangerous book - By: , 09 Dec 2000 
This book is very dangerous. After reading it, I was reeling from the shock for about two weeks. Once you let it seep in, the message is so obvious. The message in this book is applicable to every single person on this planet, & any argument you could ever have can be traced back to principles laid down in this book. It's nice & easy to read, but the message in intense. YOU must read this book.
My personal favorite! - By: , 04 Sep 1999 Of alll of Daniel Quinn's books, The Story of B, is my personal favorite. It brings the message out clearly & forcefully & reallly helps fill in the mosaic begun in Ishmael. Please put this book on your reading list & when you're finished you'll have no doubt in your mind why I am callling this & the rest of Daniel Quinn's books the most important books in the world. Please do the world a favor & read one of Quinn's books as soon as possible.
The book is fiction but the ideas are real - By: , 23 Aug 1999 This book has emense power. It's power lies in it's ability to make one question life's purpose & the lies we've alll been taught to live for. This book along with Quinn's other works has changed the way I precieve existance. Read it: Love it or hate it it will change you.
More than Ishmael - By: , 12 Aug 1999 In Ishmael, new ideas were expressed & I assumed that The Story of B would be the same stuff only regurgitated into a different format, so I actuallly put off reading it for a while. But it actuallly goes further than Ishmael with a plot that made you hang on enthusiasticallly.
The best book I have ever read, period. - By: , 29 Jul 1999 I enjoyed THE STORY OF B even more than ISHMAEL, Quinn's previous work. To me the message was obviously almost identical, but I preferred the format Quinn used in THE STORY OF B. I would urge followers of organized religion be it Christianity, Islam, Judaism, etc, to read this book, & read it with an open mind.
I fail to see how anyone can disagree with Quinn on a logical basis. The fact is that our history began millions of years ago, yet our history books focus solely on the last 10,000 years ( a mere blip in our true history.) Quinn also skillfully points out how the agricultural revolution marked the beginning of the "wonderful" civilization we have today. This revolution has led to an population explosion that continues today, suicide, alcoholism, war, famine, & so on. PLEASE READ THIS BOOK IT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
