a privilege
what can one say? only an expression of humility in hearing the words of a book which changed the world.
A wonderful piece of scholarship, splendidly read by Richard Dawkins. what a delight for him and for us.

Good read
A must read for anyone interested in evolution or a good contrast to the few open minded creationists.

All gratitude to Darwin and Dawkins
Totally wonderful, accessible reading by someone whose own profound understanding of the facts of evolution - and the implications - is second to none. I feel so grateful to have such ease of access to this text and, therefore, to the illumined mind of Darwin himself.

Fundamental and fascinating
Charles Darwin’s theory is a fascinating grand tour through the genealogy of the natural world and is beautifully set out. The reading and editing by Richard Dawkins is excellent

Very accessible
This was much less dry than I had expected. Very informative of the beginning of what is now a commonplace.

Excellent listen
Darwin's exposition of natural selection was way ahead of its time. His diction and eloquence are matched by Dawkins' well-spokenness. The perfect narrator for this masterpiece.

Well abridged
I like that there are so few editors notes as too many would have been annoying. The few "editors notes" that this book does have, don't try to tell me how to interpret Darwin's words, which I appreciate and are actually surprisingly helpful.
I would recommend this to anyone who wants to revise the key points of Darwins theory.
