Briefly- this includes books I had never heard of as well as some I had. At first I felt Wiker was more attacking than arguing how these books had affected the world, but it was simply because it was books I wasn't familiar with. When the chapter covered books I knew, the arguments made much more sense. I appreciate how Wiker is able to sum up the thesis of the book, the intended purpose as well as why it was flawed and the effects that have come.
I gave it four stars instead of five because in some chapters Wiker's opinion takes over much and it may not have matched mine, or I couldn't get past his 'attack' tone.
There are many quotes from the books he includes, except for one person- and I for one am rather glad I didn't have the opportunity to read that person's twisted thoughts posed as science- which gave more insight as I read. This is definitely not a G rated book! Not suitable for teens unless gone through with an adult.
