Actually you can borrow this book from the National Library or download it for free from the Internet.
But having read Dawkin's book, I am of the view that Dawkins has serious delusions about God. See also http://creation.com/atheist-with-a-mission-critique-of-dawkins-god-delusion
Hey thanks, I tried borrowing it from the library but it's always on loan. Do you know where I can download it? ^^

Not necessarily. A good book of this type requires unbias conclusions derived from reliable evidence, and i'm sure all would agree on this. Whether "The God Delusion" or "creation.com" meets these requirements, I would leave it to more capable hands.

Just two comments.
1. There is really no such thing as an unbiased person. Everyone of us is biased. Our bias is, among other things, primarily a result of the worldview we hold. For example, if one holds to a naturalistic worldview then one will always see things in a "no-God" perspective. Everything will have a natural answer, but a supernatural answer is not allowed.
2. All evidence or fact is interpreted. And following from #1 above, all evidence or fact is interpreted according to one's worldview, or paradigm, if you like. The atheist and the creationist have access to the SAME evidence since we live on the same planet and in the same universe. What differs then is the CONCLUSION or EXPLANATION we have to make sense of the data/fact/evidence. In short, we INTERPRET the same evidence differently, depending on our worldviews.
Consider just one example. Creationists argue that we see design all around us in living things, and that this points to an intelligent designer, God. Richard Dawkins, however, says that this design that we intuitively perceive is but an illusion wrought by natural selection. Any design we see is only apparent, not real. So the question is, which is the more reasonable explanation?
