“A deluded man?”
(Paperback)
As a person i am not a fan of Christopher Hitchens beliefs and do think that he is a long way off on some of the things he says and the theories that he agrees with.
In saying that i will give him all due respect that he seldom gives others for writing a book through the toughest challenge of his life!
Wether you agree with him or some what loath him, you have to admire someone who is willing to show themselves at there most vulnerable.
Morality is a great issue and is an issue which has been discussed all down the centuries by great thinkers! In trying to answer great questions like, why would God allow suffering?
Being a Christian when i saw that Hitchens had written a book on Morality i was interested and intrigued to see what he was going to say.
On the front cover of the book there is a comment by Piers Morgan saying that this book will make you "Laugh,Fume,Cry" but the only question that was really raised in my head whilst reading this book was, Did Hitchens really understand what he was talking about? Or was he trying to be the Big Shot Atheist one last time?
You can't fault the man on his willingness to be open and vulnerable and like i said previous, that is admirable but the feeling i got when reading this book was that Hitchens knew that his time was up, that he wanted to go out with a big bang and really be the famous man he was for attacking Religion & Doctrine and thought now because of his circumstances that would be the best time. The tone ringing behind this book for me was of someone who was scared and wasn't very sure what to expect on the other side, and maybe somewhat questioned his belief, but at the same time wanted to sound as arrogant and definitive as ever and still be the alfa male.
Morality is a good enjoyable afternoon read but personally there is not much substance behind the book just a man crying out for help.
