The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution by Richard Dawkins
3.0
When he stuck to science, it was fantastic. I loved the examples, lots of interesting clear explanations.
BUT...the asides & much of the commentary were either incomprehensible (upper-crust English culture?) or aggressively snarky. There's a tone of looking down the nose that is off-putting, even for someone who agrees with the whole damn thing. I think someone on the fence would be turned off by the tone and so unlikely to absorb a lot of the message.
