I reviewed this book for Nerds of a Feather:

(TL;DR this novel is a disgusting piece of rape apology that should never have been published)

I wrote about this book at my blog:

Un personaje (y es una generosidad decirle “personaje”) tan rematadamente aburrido como Macabea no tiene derecho a gastarse cinco páginas en morirse.

This book ought to deserve 5 stars, but it's full of sentences like this:
“The elements are conveniently set out in a table called the periodic table—I won't go into why it's called that, although it's interesting.”
It's infuriating that Dawkins can't make science simple without mutilating the details. This is presumably a book for children, and I can't see how this approach is supposed to get them excited to learn more, when Dawkins continuously refuses to complete his explanations.

I reviewed this book for the Hugo-winning blog Nerds of a Feather:
