The Magic of Reality: How We Know What's Really True by Richard Dawkins
1.0
Honestly, I was disappointed... this book is written in a very derogatory tone, and although there are some great explanations, there are some elements that are considerably less well explained or speculated on.
I would have thought that if he was trying to convince people who did not understand much about science, or who thought that mythological explanations were reasonable, that he would perhaps approach the topic more considerately. Telling someone that their ideas are ridiculous or stupid is not going to make them think kindly towards your ideas. It is more likely to turn them off completely.
Overall... meh. I probably won't read any more of his books.
