Just read it; great book. It opens the discussion on an incredible number of contentious topics, then it (or he - the fourth wall is broken repeatedly) gives an answer/opinion without attempting to close the argument. It is such a perfect book to read as a junior in high school that they would never allow it. Favorite passage:
"True human goodness, in all its purity and freedom, can come to the fore only when its recipient has no power. Mankind's true moral test, its fundamental test (which lies deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude toward those who are at its mercy: animals."
