review:
This is a good quick way to get familiar with Darwin. His writing is so peculiar that it takes a bit of time to get invested. This small book can hopefully allow one to enjoy more when one reads Darwin's major work. He takes us on a journey and he is great at describing nature, but sometimes the words felt too much: pictures might have greatly enhanced the experience.
