Review highlights

Reviews

If you are questioning religion, find your answers here

"Convinced me, Dawkins is always worth reading, well reasoned answers to arguments about religion. If you are feeling doubts about religion, this book will help you find your answers"

— RikE (5/5)

The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins

"Richard Dawkins skilfully, masterfully, and logically lays down reasoned argument and discussion of where our belief in, and our deep desperate need to believe in, a God or deity to explain our universe and our tiny human place within it. Recommended reading for both the committed theist, and the committed atheist. Riveting."

— Care (5/5)

The God Delusion Review

"Great read. Challenging and interesting to peer into a brilliant mind and his conception of the God Hypothesis. Would recommend to any mind in search of truth, and it is up to the individual to decide whether it resonates."

— Isaac (5/5)

Strong title.

"Preachy. It was a good opportunity missed. Clearly written for like minded people when it should have reached to a wider audience."

— Molish (3/5)

Thought-provoking for sure

"I think Dawkins does a good job showcasing his thoughts on the matter, but spends a lot of time rambling on"

— Eric (4/5)

We Need More Literature Like This One

"Prof. Dawkins is a genius and says what is on many people's minds about religion. The book confirms what we think and want to say but are 'too polite' to. It is a must-read for anyone who deems themselves enlightened."

— Ginnie (5/5)

Dated

"This was an important book when it first came out, in the wake of 9/11. Now, though, the discourse has moved on, and Dawkins is left looking rather shallow."

— Marzipan (3/5)

Sure!

"The book itself is great, and there are good arguments presented."

— FIDA (4/5)

Richard Dawkins is not an easy read. . .

"He never pulls a punch, and if any of the beliefs he is attacking in his book are yours then this is going to get your back up. Not for nothing was he passed over as a witness in the intelligent design trials in America. His appearance on the witness stand would probably have worked for the ID advocates as he pointed at every 'believer' in the room and berated them for their gullibility and simple mindedness. The book tends to read at times like a diatribe which pummels you, and leaves you wanting to put the book down for ten minutes to get your breathe back."

— DJ5O (2/5)

Thought provoking

"This book was very thought provoking and interesting when it came to religion."

— David (4/5)
