The Demon-Haunted World
by Carl Sagan
If you persevere to the end of this book you will be awarded. I found "The Demon-Haunted World" by Carl Sagan a very tedious read for about the first 206 pages and then it finally got interesting and relevant to me. Carl tends to go on and on about alien abduction and witches for the first half of the book before he finally starts talking about science that concerns me.
There will always be people who believe in alien abduction and it is a religion for them and there will be no swaying them with this book, so Carl should have saved himself a few pages, actually a lot of pages by just dedicating one chapter to the subject instead of such a lengthy rant against them. I totally agree with Carl Sagan, but in a briefer sense.
Great words concerning religion, critical thinking, improving our schools and yes we all should encourage and participate in questioning everything. I loved the chapter "No Such Thing as a Dumb Question".
Overall a good read, but it would have been a great read if he had not ranted so much on aliens and witches.
