[Paul Jensen · Rating 3 out of 5]

To be honest, the book is not quite as expected (spoilers). Both interestingly and disappointingly, St. More did not labor to explain a society he thought to be ideal; instead he explained a fictional society which possesses many diverse and unique elements, making it seem hard to sort through the authors intent.

All in all, it was a neat read that explored the following in-depth:
-The possible benefits of commonly owned property.
-A society based around true leisure and virtue
-How to conduct warfare/geopolitics with the least inflicted harm
-That the One Divine Essence, God, can be found be reason in all places (along with the discourse on religious pluralism found in Utopian liturgy).
-Much more
