I read the Moral Landscape a while ago ... I thought it was OK.
The ten or so pages against free will in the middle did not even raise an idle speculation from Harris as to whether we might not think in terms of morality.
Dennett? I am currently ploughing my way through Bacteria to Bach and Back. Finding it a little turgid. His Breaking the Spell was for me his most clear book, though I wondered who did he have in mind for his audience. His Freedom Evolves, the conclusion did not match the voluminous evidence against free will he provided. And Consciousness Explained left me confused and no wiser.
