Ratings and reviews

I loved it.It was extraordinary how although many items of the text has changed in Darwins theory, the narrative kept you up to date with the modern but diverse to your specific research in the desire to purchase this phenomenally read rendition. Again phenomenal audio book. David C Helms

This is read by an auto generated voice (text-to-speech) which mispronounces some words and often lacks important intonation, making some run on sentences harder to understand. Certainly listenable though.

"God did it," is self-righteously satisfying in a Republican dogma, but learning the process by which an observant man finds knowledge is joyful. if Darwin hadn't documented evolution, Wallace would have. Such is the way of Truth.
