Title: Disappointment
Review: I hate to say it, but after reading The Selfish Gene, this book was a disappointment.Dawkins can be heavy handed at times, and Unweaving the Rainbow really felt more like a personal rant than a well-researched piece of writing. Even for me, someone who agrees with Dawkins at every level, it was too much to stomach at times.To Dawkins credit, there are some interesting chapters in Unweaving the Rainbow about light, sound, and, of course, genes and evolution. However, for me it was not worth wading through the constant criticism of those who condemn science to get to 'the good stuff'.I strongly recommend The Selfish Gene to anyone who has not read it, but I can't recommend Unweaving the Rainbow.
