An Appetite for Wonder: The Making of a Scientist by Richard Dawkins

3.0

I love Dawkins, but he's much better at explaining science than at writing about himself. Thought the book is quite readable, there's a bit too much detail about his early childhood and not much at all about his first wife, who appears out of nowhere (and will presumably vanish in the planned second book). He's also a bit shrill about religion, and just because I agree with him doesn't make it terribly interesting. Time to re-read Climbing Mount Improbable.
