Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions (AmazonClassics Edition) Customer Reviews
:- from Charles van Buren -- TOP 1000 REVIEWER : Very strange ( 1.0 out of 5 stars )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Michael Valdivielso -- A great book! : First published in 1884 the story within the book is about a Square living in a two-dimensional world learning about the many types of spaces. In other words the book is about learning about multiple dimensions. But it was also a way for the author, Edwin A. Abbott to talk about Victorian England, attacking sexism and the class system. But there is no Romance in the book. Unless the subtitle means it is a Scientific Romance? The archaic term for science fiction. So if you are looking for some kind of weird love story keep moving on. ( Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2018 )
- 1.0 out of 5 stars from Kindle Customer -- Bad Kindle book and not a very good story, either : Flatland is widely considered a classic in teaching about mathematical and physical concepts. This was the first time I read the book and I have to say that I find the story (originally published in 1884) a very poorly written, bigoted product which may reflect the times it was written in but is no longer acceptable (and rightly so).

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from M. Dowden -- Brilliantly Original : Edwin Abbott Abbott published this, his brilliantly original novella in 1884 and it has always remained popular. If this is the first time you will be reading this, then you will soon find out why, and become a fan of it yourself. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 2, 2017 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Christopher Riley -- Revolutionary concepts despite its age! : At just over eighty pages this is a short novel, but by no means a simple text. Written in 1884, this book is full of ideas that will interest mathematicians, physicists, historians, sociologists, politicians and paranormalists alike. It deals with issues such as eugenics, equality, revolution, the rigid class system of the late Victorian era, mathematical shapes, higher dimensions, shape-shifting and teleportation.

- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Indi2011906 -- Beautifully written and unforgettable : How do I classify this? ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 12, 2017 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from CloselyObservedEnglish -- Incredible : 'Flatland' is quite unlike anything I have ever read. It tells the story of a square living in two-dimensional space; the first part of the book describes the life of this square and the society he inhabits, all of which perfectly sets up the second part of the book, where a three-dimensional being interrupts the square's life to show him that Space is not what it seems. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 9, 2021 )
- 4.0 out of 5 stars from PeterKMT -- Not for everyone. Nerdy but fun. : Considering the book was written a very long time ago, before some of the mathematical concepts were commonplace it’s a very interesting read. The language it’s written in sounds a little silly today yet it’s fun to read it in that tone. Story-wise it’s interesting though not for everyone. Some might find it a bit boring. If possible, read in one go. Otherwise it might get thrown into the “maybe later category” ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 28, 2019 )
