'This is such a fabulous book. Honest, powerful, moving. Can't remember ever liking a book "in praise of atheism" as much as this. Many atheists don't really get religion. David Baddiel absolutely does.' Giles Fraser
Praise for Jews Don't Count:

'I don't think I have ever been so grateful to anyone for writing a book. Baddiel's Jews Don't Count is incisive, urgent, surprisingly funny and short. It's also a beautiful piece of publishing. It needs to be read' JAY RAYNER
'Brilliant, furious, uncomfortable, funny. Essential reading.' SIMON MAYO
'I'm about a quarter of the way into this thus far and it's very well argued and written. It's a book you know the author HAD to write, and those are the best books' JON RONSON

'Just so brilliantly argued and written, I was completely swept along' Hadley Freeman
'David Baddiel is a brilliant thinker and writer. Even when I disagree with him - especially when I disagree with him - I feel profound gratitude for his intellectual and moral clarity. This is a brave and necessary book.' Jonathan Safran Foer
