This review is from: Voyage of the Beagle (A CSA Word Classic) (Audio CD)

I really enjoyed this CD set. Dawkins does a fine job of reading Darwin and bringing the story to life. I was so pleased that I also bought Dawkins' reading of 'On the Origin of Species'.

The only down side of this audiobook is the fact that it is an abridgment with about 75% of the book cut out. In my opinion, that is too much abridgment. Buyers will wish there was more.
