OrangeReviewStarWhat makes this two-title set exceptional is the remarkable quality of narration that Richard Dawkins brings to Darwin's most important works. Voyage of the Beagle becomes an engrossing combination travelog/adventure story under Dawkins's skillful and compelling voice. He does an equally credible job of reading Species, emphasizing significant phrases and words to enhance the listening and learning experience of this seminal work.
VERDICT This double dose of Darwin is a remarkable version of an essential reference work, which is greatly enhanced by the narrator's skill. Natural history fans will delight in this audiobook.
