Title: What the...?!
Review: While this book presents concepts that are interesting enough, it's overuse of metaphors and analogies makes it almost unreadable. The author poses a perfectly legitimate argument and then attempts to defend it with 5 pages of nonsensical jargon. It is enough to make one retire the book prematurely in frustration. On several occasions I found myself asking, "What exactly was the point of this rambling again?" Quite frankly, his tactics are peevish and tiresome.I have a better idea Mr. Dawkins. Instead of trying to bring science into the realm of the layman and blathering endlessly and needlessly about it, rewrite this book. This time around omit your attempts to dumb it down. I am betting you could trim it to a mere essay. But then, you could hardly market an essay could you?I would be absolutely infuriated if this book were made required reading for say, an entry level genetics course. Mr. Dawkins is exactly what is wrong with science today.
Is the review positive or negative?
