I have read nearly all his books and generally found them very good. It is a little sad that he gave the title that he did to that book, and I know that he said that he regrets it now. In part because it gives a hostage to the creationists who say that believing that a gene could be selfish implies that it could have intent, and that he therefore is making a god of it. It was his first book and I find that it is not such a good read now as, Unweaving The Rainbow, The Blind Watchmaker, and The God Delusion, all of which are "must" reads, and should be taught in every school. River Out Of Eden does evolutionary theory very well too.
