Critics Review

“A fascinating collection of articles that just say no to religion…Required reading for anyone who believes, disbelieves, or just isn’t sure yet.”–People “Critic’s Choice”“A great Christmas gift for anybody who doens’t believe in Christmas. In fact, it’s the closest thing to heaven a confirmed atheist is likely to find.”–Sunday Mercury“Hitchens has returned to the Belief Wars backed by a full army…The Godless Warrior marshals in an Atheist A-Team.”–San Diego Union Tribune“MY PRAYERS ARE answered! I’d always wanted a 500-page paperback crammed with arguments against the existence of God–and now, thanks to Christopher Hitchens, that tireless proselytizing rationalist, here it is.”–Adam Begley, New York Observer“Should be sufficient fodder for anyone uncomfortable with the notion of a creator.”–Hartford Courant“Those objections and the writings Hitchens assembles to buttress them will surely bring on new controversies which is just the sort of thing on which he has thrived over a long and fruitful career.”–Kirkus“Valuable.” –Library Journal
