Books do Furnish a Life: An electrifying celebration of science writing by Richard Dawkins

This audiobook wasn't exactly what I was expecting. Perhaps that's my fault...
This was my first Dawkins read and I found the book repetitive and self-serving. However, it did leave me eager to read more of his work as I find his way of storytelling fascinating.
I enjoyed the interview chapters the most. The book is just a bit too surface level for my liking.
If you are interested in reading Dawkins and hearing a poetic spin on the history on evolution and genetic research, then don't start here... But do look elsewhere in Dawkins' work!
