If you have read Dawkins lastest works, you might question the point of reading one of his earlier works as I did. But Dawkins is writing in a freer less self critical way,and it makes it fun.

Natural Selection.

I have a mixed feeling about this.

If you understand the subject yes. I tend to listen at 2x to 3x. This book is diffidently a 2x book.

Incredible number of analogies to explain a simple point. Dare I say arrogant attitude in the narrative. Haven't finished listening, don't know if I will return. I am a biologist, and an evolutionist and still don't understand why some people think God is an instant magician.

Probably not

Did not finish the book, and may not. The book is not going to enlighten any Creationists, it may bore the h--l out of them.

No way would I purchase another book from this author.

I purchased this book to learn more about evolution. Unfortunately, Dawkins is so busy getting in his own way with his pseudo-intellectualism, and majorly exhaustive definitions that he puts you to sleep. If you are looking for a cure for insomnia or are obsessed with bat sonar this is the book for you. Otherwise...

The performance was fine. It was the material that lacked.

I would cut this thing down to the bone. Assume your audience has a brain and get the point already.

5 graders may learn something, but anybody older would learn nothing from the book.

The book was 5 grader level. Apparently the author just want to write something to make money.
