review 1: Juvenile fiction / biography. Good overview of Charles Darwin's early life, especially his voyage on the Beagle. Some early teens might be disinterested if they are unfamiliar with geography. Many places along the route of the Beagle are described and discussed.This reading confirmed to me that when one loses the moorings of Scripture, his view and interpretation of the world can change drastically. And this, in turn, can change others' lives.
review 2: I've always thought of Charles Darwin as an old man with grey hair and a beard. But this book gives you a bird's eye view into the young Charley Darwin. This book is about Charley in school, which he hated, and as a young man sailing around the world. What starts our as a voyage of 2 years turns out to be 5 year... mores. He sees things he's never seen before. And he is so sea sick during the voyage. He spends most of his time on ship in his hammock. But once on land Charley is his old self again. Off to find the elusive plant, rock, animal or whatever he finds. If you like reading about history this is the book for you. less
