Book Report: Godless by Ann Coulter (2006)
Any book with Ann Coulter on the cover, you kinda know what you're getting. Ann Coulter.

This book is a little schizophrenic, as it really has two parts. The first is normal liberals are bad men and women sort of thing you get on the Internet and in Coulter columns. Whereas she's amusing in columns and in short doses, sometimes a book-length treatise by Coulter grates on my nerves.

So I was fortunate, surprised, and pleased when the book took a thoughtful turn into exploring intelligent design versus evolution debate, exposing some of the holes in the evolution theory and keeping the mouth, or its textual equivalent, to a snarky minimum throughout.

I don't read the debates nor the supporting materials very closely, but Coulter's treatment was a decent survey of it. After a couple chapters of the normal political nyah nyah of which this blog often joins in.
