[Brynn E. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Overall, I believe that Bruno Leone created a very good book that is perfect for those interested in evolution and Charles Darwin, or even just science in general. I really enjoyed reading it, and I believe that it fulfills everything it was written for. I recommend this book to anyone who likes this topic, and I don’t think they’ll be disappointed.
