by Christopher Hitchens

I did like it, but again, it's sort of preaching to the choir. There are some parts that are very well done/interesting, etc, and then others that aren't quite as good. I also really hate, in general, the word "stupid" - it just seems like lazy writing and he definitely calls something or someone "stupid" in about every chapter, which I did find annoying. It's a decent overview of the topic - but stays fairly superficial where one might appreciate some depth. Also, if you're going to critize certain people for their literal reading of the Bible, perhaps you shouldn't make such constant literal criticisms of the actions therein; I get it, Abraham should NOT have been willing to sacrifice his son, this is indeed a BAD thing . . . .Didn't we cover that in Core freshman year? Hmm, maybe I should downgrade to three stars, after thinking about it. . . ]]> <![CDATA[new comment from Meghan]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/81320799 Kirsten's review of The Little Stranger
