the_reading_wren's review against another edition

I’ve been reading this on and off for several years now and just found it a tough read in places. I skipped to the chapter about the Galápagos Islands because of how important that time was for Darwin’s thinking on evolution. It was fascinating to read his entries from that time as he was processing all the information he was collecting and thinking along the lines of the later theory of evolution by natural selection.
