Yeah, for sure! Darwin's 'Origin' was written for an audience which were willing to reject the theories because they demolished major beliefs of creation. I've read two of Dawkin's books, The God Delusion, and The Greatest Show on Earth. I have to say there is a big difference in the entertainment value between the two. I'd figured Dawkins might've strained for production in the latter. I think he also mentions in TGS that his work is like a modern reespousal of Darwin's Origin. I find it amusing to look back on the two books and find some similarities which Dawkins might have accidentally reproduced, such as backtracking to earlier points and following up on new tangents, or recovering the same points several times due to lack of compiling conflicting/contrasting concepts, etc. Then again it is possible that the very nature of evolution made this the best method for writing about it.
I don't regret reading either of them, Darwin's work isn't ruined by Dawkins but made much easier to read after going through Dawkins, he goes into more depth and provides much more anti religious argument for the reader, while Darwin gives a more comprehensive outlook on exactly what, and how evolution is/occurs.
