| Rath said: Out of interest are Dawkins books any good or does he come across as a jerk, like he seems to in debates and interviews? |
No, they're really good. In the God delusion he comes of as a bit of a jerk. In his regular books he occasionally digresses to talk about creationism, but he mostly talks about evolution.
To be honest, I've adapted myself to just semi-skimming over a paragraph if he starts talking about creationists. To his credit though, he is always fair when it is due.
His books on evolution are very interesting though if you prefer the science. He can certainly paint a picture, he has a great ability to develop analogies that really help you understand what he is talking about.
