Outgrowing God: A Beginner’s Guide by Richard Dawkins
4.0
Overall, a solid 3.5.
This feels like the continuation of The God Delusion, also written by Dawkins. While both were informative and eloquently written, I feel this one wasn't needed. I am not religious, and I share many ideas with Dawkins, but Outgrowing God doesn't really add much more to the debate than its predecessor. That being said, I find that the tone of this book to be much less acerbic than The God Delusion, which endears more readers when their belief structure is challenged. Like the adage says, "You attract more flies with honey than vinegar."
