I read most of The Greatest Show on Earth and it felt weak but moreso because it felt obvious. It might have been more interesting in a time/culture bubble where evolution wasn't taken for granted or the belief in God wasn't known to come with a lot of cognitive dissonance baggage. A bit of cool trivia here and there but overall it felt like a celebratory piece written for the already converted. Which, ironically, feels a bit like someone releasing a determinist book today.
