I believe I was a little too eager to grab this new work by Richard Dawkins to have read the reviews first. This 'new' book doesn't exactly feel new if you have read Mr. Dawkins' other books already. This seems to be sort of a summary of all his previous books.
As usual, Mr. Dawkins generously bashes the religions - Christianity and Islam in particular - denouncing the evils and superstitions found in them. Then he argues as to why scientific thinking, and not religions, should be guiding our mind and life. Then he goes on to wrap it all up by highlighting how science has helped us so far, both in improving our lives and our knowledge of the world around us. Feeling a sense of deja vu!
The God Delusion + The Greatest Show on Earth + The Magic of Reality = Outgrowing God. Can't give this book anything more than 3/5!
