What should I say about this book. That I understood it? Partly, but not all, and I think this book is almost impossible to understand. The writing stile was excellent and for me, as a non native english reader, also quite challenging and I was happy that I could read that on my Kindle where looking up words is just so nice and easy.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to read some really good literature and wants to challenge their brain and end up with a much richer vocabulary than before.
Two books in one.
The first one is a bit bumpy read, a rough ride, although not bad overall, not on the level I am used from Peter F. Hamilton. So 2/5
But, the second book is way better, with a compelling story line, thought nothing really over the top, but enough to get a 4/5
Overall I give a 4/5, especially because for the second book
Ah well, what should I say. One one hand it was an excellent read, as Christopher Hitchens is an amazing writer. Of course you first have to get into the fact the he will not spare you with difficult and obscure english words (thank you Kindle oxford dictionary) but once you get beyond this, it is a very fluid read.
Sometimes I think he rambles on a bit too much, and the other problem I had is, that I watched so many Hitches Atheist vs Religion discussions that most parts where a “I heard that before”.
Still, worth a read. Recommended.
