Well, the chapter on "no seriously, lern2biology" was a little tedious for me, mainly because I've got a decent handle on that stuff and it was pages upon pages of HEY LOOK SEE THERE'S EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION OKAY? I already know that.

Other than that, though, it's good. I think Sam Harris has a style I enjoy more, because it's still relentless and thorough, but he's a little gentler about it (which is a really artful approach that allows him to get some really good points in without seeming like a Concern!Troll). Dawkins doesn't offend me in the least with his tone, but it's always nice to see authors who absolutely refuse to cede the moral high ground by being RIDICULOUSLY over-the-top courteous and nice.
