The Blurb On The Back:

There is no descriptive Blurb on the Back, instead we get the following quotes:

”... entertaining, wildly informative, splendidly written ... we are elegantly cajoled, cleverly harangued into shedding ourselves of this superstitious nonsense that has bedevilled us since our first visit to Sunday school.”
- Rod Liddle, Sunday Times

”A spirited and exhilarating read ... Dawkins comes roaring forth in the full vigous of his powerful arguments.”
- Joan Bakewell, Guardian

”Passionate, clever, funny, uplifting and above all, desperately needed.”
- Daily Express

”A wonderful book ... joyous, elegant, fair, engaging, and often very funny ... informed throughout by an exhilarating breadth of reference and clarity of thought.”
- Michael Frayn

”Richard Dawkins’s The God Delusion should be read by everyone from atheist to monk. If its merciless rationalism doesn’t enrage you at some point, you probably aren’t alive.”
- Julian Barnes

”There is not a dull page in Richard Dawkins’s The God Delusion, a book that makes me want to cheer its clarity, intelligence and truth-telling.”
- Claire Tomalin

The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )

The Verdict:

A challenging, uncompromising polemic, this is easily one of the most important books of the 21st century, regardless of whether you agree or disagree with Dawkins and his arguments.
