jdoetsch 's review for:

The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins
4.0

Well written book. You don't need to be an evolutionary biologist to understand the concepts he's putting forward, because he uses language that pretty much anyone can understand (while meticulously making sure that these comparisons can be translated back if necessary).

The audio book was a little confusing because of all the end notes and updates. He'd explain something, then the next sentence would be: "End Note: That's actually totally wrong, jk. Here's the correct result". Not that an intelligent human being can't hear both and recognize that one is right and the other is wrong, of course.

Overall, I enjoyed this book and I'll certainly be picking up his other books in the near future.
