'The book starts with the warning that it is not a guidebook for ethical living. What it does do is plant hundreds of more ethical questions in your mind, fulfilling its role as a light hearted, lively introduction to the subject of ethical philosophy. It may not make you a better person or resolve all your problems, but it's a great work out for your brain!' – Get Ethical.com
'This book has proved to be invaluable in a pilot project promoting philosophy and discussion activities in our school. We use this book twice a week as the basis of group discussions of ethical issues, and it is a great success ... There is something here for students and people of all ages. I heartily recommend this book, as well as [Martin Cohen's] previous one [101 Philosophy Problems], which we have enjoyed equally.' – Michael Brett, Head of Philosophy, Lochinver School
