The Magic of Reality: How We Know What's Really True by Richard Dawkins

informative slow-paced

2.5

It was an okay book. I enjoyed the myths at the front of each chapter and then the science at the end and I could understand Dawkins saying there is a certain magic in reality. However, he then goes off on one of his God rants. I am an atheist, I do not believe in God but his tone when he discussed it is dismissive, condescending and arrogant and it felt like he had an agenda. So what if some people want to believe in faith or miracles or fate? If it pleases them, let them do so. Mr. Dawkins, you do not always need to be right. Believe what you believe and let others do the same. Had you left out the last rant about miracles this book would have been better.
