Also, with a more dealed treatment of each character I believe various plot points and/or holes would have emerged too early. I enjoyed the mystery of discovering the characters as much as the plot itself (if in fact they can be seperated:)) Just my thoughts. Thanks for the review.

Has Socrates become an obscure footnote as he suggests? Do readers really need to be "up on the classics" to have "prior knowledge" of "who Socrates is" and why people might want to rescue him from suicide?
