Who’s Deluded Here?

Richard Dawkins’ new book: The God Delusion is out. And the reviews are appearing. First up is a very negative review in Prospect Magazine by Andrew Brown (followed by a further negative ramble about the review in the Guardian’s Comment is Free). However, his dyspeptic review is countered by Joan Bakewell’s review of Dawkins’ book in today’s Guardian. She, by contrast, finds that "Dawkins gives it to believers with both barrels and cheers him on".

 

I’ll make my own mind up on the book once I’ve read it. I’m currently awaiting it to drop into the postbox. But I can confidently predict that my reaction is more likely to be closer to that of Bakewell’s rather than Brown’s.
