I liked this a great deal. The author does a nice job of sharing Darwin's theory in relation to his religious beliefs and the conflict about his theory during his time.
I could feel Darwin's conflict as I read the story-- making his frequent illness all the more poignant. I especially enjoyed the excerpts from his diaries. Well done.
