At the moment, I'm re-reading Sophie's World. Very cool - for those of you who don'tknow, it's basically a novel about philosophy. I like books where you learn stuff.

However, I think the way that Dawkins wrote the book, particularly the first few chapters, precluded anyone from reading it (or rather, continuing to read it) if they weren't already pre-disposed to liking his thesis.

I would definitely agree with that.

I can't imagine any Christian Fundamentalists making it through the first few chapters to the root of his argument, given his mocking and derogatory writing style,.

but I don't really think many Christian Fundamentalists would read the book if they knew what it was about. I think it's more for people who are open to discussion on the topic of religion, not for those who stand strongly by their own religious beliefs.
