I think Dawkins attempted to write 'The greatest show . . . ' in minimal drafts. There seems to be a lot of room for improvement, and the most recent interview which I know of (w/ Andrew Denton; which I posted in a now obsolete thread) shows Dawkins constructing his dialogue in an identical manner to the title I mentioned.
This said, it was his earlier book 'The god delusion' which I found so enjoyable that led me to get the other. I found that it was tiresome, at times I'm wondering when he will move on, other times I'm left with questions and have to find the answers elsewhere as he doesn't "look after" the average reader consistently, and the pace was all choppy, at times flowing smoothly, at others sounding disoriented, or strained.
Darwin's 'Origin' was a good read but it was somewhat boring aswell, but this is sort of hidden because as scientific as the work is, I was always kept active with deciphering the old prose he used to convey the info. He only mentions god a few times, and you can tell in the delivery method he used, he was breaking his discovery to creationists gently. I suppose it was this that made reading it a bit prolonged as I didn't need convincing
