Summary: Christian Whackos ?
Review: To me this book revealed how important it is to keep one's mind open to possiblities, to be ready to review some things that one may have previously assumed to be true, to give serious consideration to things with which one may not be familiar or comfortable.How one could read this book and then be able to make a "one dimensional" generality about a group of people (such as Christians) is curious indeed. This book is a beautiful little lesson about why one should reserve time in one's life to give attention to things which are contrary to one's own paradigms.

Review: If you haven't yet read this wonderful classic, don't be put off by the Christian whackos. This book is above and beyond such drivel.

Summary: C'est bien! Good book, so read it or smell like goat cheese
Review: Ok, great book. Also, this book was not centered on spirituality or Christianity as some of you morons thought it to be. It's just a book that opens your mind up to the possible and what is beyond our grasp. To always search for the truth, no matter where it leads us, or whatever preconceptions it shatters. G'day to you all!

Summary: It was intresting, but not exciting.
Review: The book was very intresting, and refered to lots of geometric synopsises, but i personally did not enjoy it. It wasn't exciting or suspenseful. It was boring and dull. "A" square was not at all life like, he was weird. I think this book was geometrically incorrect. Alfred Snyzeltrice would frown!

Summary: It's a lovely book explaining everpresent, unseen good.
Review: Flatland, although written as a mathematical book, is the clearest explanation I know of understanding how Good, the Kingdom of Heaven is everpresent and yet unseen by us. Understanding and joy took a wonderful leap when the Principle in this book of 2d dimension to 3d dimension is applied for us to divine Reality. And so we can begin to understand and accept Jesus's words that the Kingdom of Heaven is right at hand. This is an enjoyable book for mathematicians too.! I recommend it to everyone wanting to know more about the Presence of Love right here.

Summary: If you only read one book on spirituality...
Review: Can you even imagine the lateral thinking it took to write this? Even though it seems basic after reading it, this book must have been quite a groundbreaker when first published. The author even has room in this tiny book to add a bit of sarcasm toward social mores! If you want to understand the possibility of multiple dimensions beyond our paltry 3, you need only to limit yourself to two to understand how little we actually perceive. Read it. Read it. Read it.

Summary: A dazzling masterpiece of literature.
Review: Abbot was passionate about addressing a Christian concern that I share: differentiating mere superstition from the supernatural. Flatland was written with this in view: to make a parabolic case for the dynamic of the "higher order" of things and how it would thus relate to us. It is also hilarious social and spiritual satire. While often portrayed as a treatise on mathematics, the math was only the idiom. He was trying, by way of parable, to show the rationality of belief in the supernatural. The first half of the book is a set-up for the second half where the action takes place. The first time I read it (age 17) I thought it was a bit tedious till I got to the middle. But the first half must be read for the MIND BLOWING second half to make sense. When older and on second read, the first part is now my favorite. For Abbot is not just describing Flatland, he is satirically lampooning Victorian culture, priggery and prejudice. To think how this book must have made people's blood boil back then, just as it does now! As for style, Abbott has a way of constructing a phrase that is just plain delicious once you get into the flow of it. He waxes most eloquent (in the voice of the "square" narrator) when he is most absurd and wrong, and this--you must admit--is a little too close for comfort as well. A friend of mine called me at 4am several years after I gave him Flatland, having finally read it straight through, and said "I think I now 'get' the Revelation!" I hope it has a similar encouraging effect on you--either by humorous, pithy satire or spiritual insight.

Summary: A fabulous tale of high adventure in another universe
Review: Flatland is one of my favorite books of all time. It's one of those stories I've been searching for all my life... A tale of multiple dimensions, written with captivating style. Dionys Burger's sequel lacks Abbot's elegance and sense of adventure, and seems lackluster compared to the original. "Out of your plane you go! Once, twice, thrice! 'Tis done!" Flatland is a fabulous realm, and I only regret that I cannot draw illustrations for it... They'd look like mere diagrams from a geometry text!
