Brief review: Socrates is considered to be the wisest man ever lived. Plato was a student of Socrates. The book is a narrative of 'four dialogues'- Euthyphro, Apology, Crito and Phaedo - which were the themes evoked by the trial and death of Socrates. The teaching of Socrates is full of wisdom. The book is one of my favorites. Read it slow and you need yourself to immerse into it to understand the thoughts and gain from the wisdom of Socrates.
