Critics Review
I dare you to read this book… it will not leave you unchanged. Read it if it is the last thing you do
I dare you to read this book… it will not leave you unchanged. Read it if it is the last thing you do – Richard DawkinsSam Harris’s elegant little book is the most refreshing and wonderful source of ammunition for those who, like me, hold to no religious doctrine… Read it and form your own view, but do not ignore its message – Roger PenroseSam Harris is a brave, intelligent, clear-sighted author whose brilliant essay should be read by every adult who has ever believed that a religious faith can solve the world’s problems – Desmond MorrisHarris and (Richard) Dawkins both share a wonderfully refreshing refusal to parse their language into more saccharine statements… Guaranteed to enrage all but the most delusional theist * Irish Independent *Harris picks apart the very seams of Christian belief in such a convincing fashion that any shred of belief I had has now been obliterated. This is a good thing. We only get one life - why waste one minute of it on mumbo jumbo * London Lite *
