Excellent book. He is much less forgiving than Richard Dawkins. However, whoever wrote the back cover description might not have read the book. First of all, if you are giving a critique (as Hitchens does) of 5 major religions and their books in less than 300 pages, it isn't going to be "close". He didn't do any more than skip the surface as far as commenting on the bible. Second, I totally missed the part where he said we should be telling stories about the double helix rather than Moses, and the Hubble telescope rather than Hell.
