Review
"The book is devoted to a rather difficult topic; its style, however, makes most of its parts digestible, sometimes even enjoyable." -- Mathematical Reviews

"Exhibit[s] the hallmarks of Smullyan's style. . .Accessible to beginners, yet present[s] material of interest to specialists."--Modern Logic
"A highly original approach."--Journal of Symbolic Logic
