I was provided a free copy of this book by Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.
“When the Professor Got Stuck in the Snow” by Dan Rhodes was a fast paced read. Even though it was a bit difficult to process, as I’d think more so for ardent believers in the existence of God.
Professor Richard Dawkins is a passionate atheist. Well, I thought I was one, until I met the Professor. He moved around giving everyone a hard time regarding their beliefs and calling them dim-witted. The recipients of his abuse gladly reciprocated by calling him a “bell-end”, twat and arsehole among other things.
But this book told from a third person view is not really about the professor, it is more about his “male secretory”, “Smee” who looks up to the professor as his savior after a particularly depressing divorce after which he had fallen back of a life of agoraphobic solitude and anonymous objectionable commenting on internet posts.
The Professor is cold and imposing throughout the book until the very end. Even though, he has been propagating my views as an atheist, I couldn’t find him more annoying. But in a weird way, this character’s contrasting views with Smee’s is an eye-opener. His brief role as male secretory to the great Richard Dawkins works like a rebound relationship for Smee to realize a different perspective of life. The reader and Smee both change as the story progresses, with even the professor on momentarily shaky grounds on his belief.
The ending REALLY throws you off. This story is definitely worth a read…or even two to grasp the professor’s speeches!
