Whatever you think of Richard Dawkins, having read several of both his science and advocacy books, the man is a good communicator. Having read God is not Great, I regret that I can’t say the same thing about Hichens. This book comes across much more like a rant than Dawkins’ similar work and although there are good arguments buried amongst the hyperbole, I’m not sure it’s worth searching them out. And although I haven’t confirmed this for myself, I’ve been told that some of his fact checking is poor and that there are several errors in the book.
