"Man this was a tough read. Granted this was also the first book of this kind of caliber that I ever read. I'll have to give it another go in the future."

"Super boring narrator but interesting story of Darwin's life. The suppositions and scientific analysis dismisses non-heteronormative traits and takes a highly cynical view of human motivation but there was some truth to it. Mostly, I enjoyed hearing about Charles Darwin and what he learned and how he learned it as told through his journal's, his scientific work, his wife's journals, etc. I'm now reading Sex at Dawn which shows a wider array of human relationships and discusses several of this books points."

"Makes you look at the world differently, not an easy read but definitely worth the time"
