He certainly is a powerful communicator. The trouble with hyperboles like that is that they're troublesome to decide. For one, they may get us fans of Feynmann annoyed.

I believe Dr. Dawkins would agree with it. I sure do, especially the parts that indicate the lucidity of Dawkins' writing. Dawkins explanations resonate with me more than any bible story or church service that I have attended. He simply makes sense. This is a very good review. I believe Dr. Dawkins would agree with it.
