Critic Reviews
“Richard Dawkins has updated evolution ... His subject is nothing less than the meaning of life, and he attacks it with the evangelical fervour of a clergyman and the mind of a scientist”
The Times
Beautiful ... he seizes happy analogies, bright metaphors and shining images to light up his passion and our darkness Guardian
Good writing, tight argument and unpulled punches ... a satisfying book Economist
One of the best science books - one of the best of any books - I have ever read Los Angeles Times
