Richard Dawkins is a good writer (I love The Ancestor's Tale, and his work in memetics has played more of a role in my graduate level work in political science than you might expect on the surface), so I was expecting a lot more from the book than I got out of it. There are a few valid points and some good insights, but for the most part, The God Delusion is really only as popular as it is because of the controversy surrounding it. Out of all the "New Atheist" writers, my favorite is probably Daniel Dennett. I actually learned something while reading Breaking the Spell, which is a lot more than I can say about Dawkins' book.
