I am a huge follower of Richard Dawkins and have loved many of his works but this one simply misses the mark. In the book Mr. Dawkins sets out to prove that God was too improbable to exist. The issue is beyond a few new arguments he still leaves many questions unanswered and many gaps in his explanations and beliefs. Possibly the best argument he raised during this book was “who created the creator?”. Beyond that this book is not worth your time.
It seems that this is just a sloppy attempt at vicious attacks focused on creationists and not up to par with his actual scientific works of the past. It was rather tedious to read as it was poorly worded, words were misused and the attacks were often of an almost childish nature. I have come to expect much more professionalism and skill then what has been put forth in this book.
