Very good, although my Engrish is not quite good enough. I struggled with some of his words, but, I love feeling like an idiot. I really enjoy his style and certainly approve of his message.
As an atheist I did not need Hitchens to convince me to give up religion and I don't think that this book is going to convince anyone who truly believes. However, Hitchens' writing is enjoyable and captivating, at times even funny. He includes both personal accounts and historical examples to support his case and he does so very passionately.

Highly recommended.

If you want to explore tainted, organized religion this books for you. You will find alot of bible contradictions being debated, how so many people have died from religion, and, with an open mind you should find this very fasinating to read or you will be offended before you begin your exploration. Open your mind. It will amaze you!!
