This is not a text book or written in an academic style. However it requires concentration because the "topic" is a complex one. I cannot say that I am able to explain what genes, chromosomes and DNA are to anyone but I now have a basic idea of how they came to existence, evolved and work in our bodies. I guess this will be useful in further readings on the topic.
I enjoyed reading the first half of the book. It got difficult when Dawkins inserted probabilities into his explanations on how genes interact. I got lost tbh. But then I read the chapter on Memes which I thoroughly enjoyed. A Meme is a "unit of cultural transmission " and Dawkins explains how it works using Genes as an analogy. It was Brilliant!
