A very important book, especially in these times... a magnificent
book, lucid and wise, truly magisterial
*Ian McEwan*
Written with all the clarity and elegance of which Dawkins is a
master. It should have a place in every school library - especially
in the library of every "faith" school
*Philip Pullman*
A resounding trumpet blast for truth... It feels like coming up for
air
*Matt Ridley*
A spirited and exhilarating read... Dawkins comes roaring forth in
the full vigour of his powerful arguments, laying into fallacies
and false doctrines with the energy of the polemicist at his most
fiery
*Guardian*
This is my favourite book of all time... a heroic and life-changing
work
*Derren Brown*
One of the best non-fiction writers alive today
*Steven Pinker*
Everyone should read it. Aethists will love Mr Dawkins's incisive
logic and rapier wit and theists will find few better tests of the
robustness of their faith
*The Economist*
This is a brave and important book. Is it too much to hope that it
will dump religious bigotry in the dustbin of history where it
belongs?
*Desmond Morris*
Could not be more apt for out times - Dawkins pulls out all the
stops to demonstrate the force of his thesis in this passionate new
book... lively and highly readable
*The Sunday Times*
An entertaining, wildly informative, splendidly written polemic...
we are elegantly cajoled, cleverly harangued into shedding
ourselves of this superficial nonsense that has bedevilled us since
our first visit to Sunday school
*The Sunday Times*
