Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (10)
- n***i (2521)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseI have a tremendous admiration for Mr Hitchens and since this is his most famous, perhaps infamous work, I decided to give it a try. Well researched, extraordinarily written endlessly erudite and savagery witty, this book is not for the faint of heart. Hitchens dissects organized religion with gusto and purpose. If you’re a believer then this book is not for you. If you’re questioning your beliefs, then it’s worth reading. Seller recommended.
