Review Quotes

"There's more to the Pokémon universe than most people realize, as this fascinating book makes abundantly clear; arguments for god's existence, debates about personal identity, dialogues regarding free will...there's even some plant philosophy."
-Robert Arp, author of "1001 Ideas that Changed the Way We Think" (2013)
