review 1: Four stars because of the mostly beautiful illustrations of animals, plants, and geology.The quality of the adaptation was in general very high. I am glad notes were included to update the reader on later findings related to Darwin's work. I do suggest reading this book in small bursts unless one is really familiar with the contents already. There is so much information I found myself reading things twice at times! My only qualm was the illustrations of people. They really appeared poorly done to my eye when compared with the rest of the illustrations, but overall I enjoyed myself with this one.
review 2: I was disappointed in the book. The artwork on the cover is really beautiful, but it doesn't really reflect the much lower level of craftsmanship through the ... morerest of the book.In terms of content, this is a decent way to get an overview of Darwin's great book, but the organization and layout in the book (especially in the intro and afterword) leave a lot to be desired. It took too much time on too many pages to figure out what image went with what text, and in what order the text should be read. less
