5.0 out of 5 stars Introducing Charles Darwin, 31 Jan 2003
By A Reader (North West England) - See all my reviews
A very clear and readable account of Darwin's life, which rapidly converts the reader into an amateur expert. The author obviously greatly admires his subject and yet is unafraid to point out character weaknesses. The result is a very balanced and entertaining book, full of interesting and sometimes astonishing detail that brings the man to life.

Particular strengths are the descriptions of Darwin's relationships with Captain Fitzroy, money and ill-health: these themes are brought in throughout the book and really leave the reader with a strong impression on how it was to be Charles Darwin. The final chapter, which is particularly interesting, is the author's personal view on a man who was "...an obsessive, whose obsession just happened to turn the world of his contemporaries upside down." which neatly summarises the importance of this revolutionary scientist and puts his life in context.
