The Magic of Reality: How We Know What's Really True by Richard Dawkins
3.0
Finally made my way through this book. I'm not sure why it took so long given the text is fairly large and illustrations usually take up half of the page. I think mostly that it was a heavy hardback edition and I couldn't easily take it around with me.
Overall I didn't mind the book, I enjoyed hearing about the myths and learning a little bit of the scientific side of things. I did find it strange when sometimes he would say "so it's a bit like x but I'm not going to explain that now" or something similar. Why mention it if you're not going to explain it?
The illustrations were beautiful, I love how the book looked and wish the front cover were a bit 'prettier' so it could easily be a display book.
