Flights of Fancy: Defying Gravity by Design and Evolution

Richard Dawkins is a great writer. In this book, he continues to excel at engaging the reader. However, there is no deep dive into any fact. Just several anecdotes after anecdotes. Many of the topics presented here have already been covered in other books. It seems like the book wasn't thoroughly crafted, just a bunch of information thrown into chapters to maintain coherence, trying to touch on various topics without ever truly developing them. At times during the reading, when I expected more depth on a subject, a new topic was introduced or the chapter ended abruptly. Perhaps my experience wasn't great, as other Dawkins books are excellent – like The God Delusion, The Greatest Show on Earth, and River Out of Eden. Any chapter from The Ancestor's Tale is better than this entire book as a whole. In short, I don't recommend reading it.

PS: The images are wonderful.
