Easy read, extremely educational and a bit entertaining, and one of the best books I have ever read.

Really enjoyed the book and having the author narrate. Kind of disappointed it was abridged--I missed that on the box. Would like the unabridged version if it exists. Going to listen to more Bill Bryson.

A great general science book, nice to read, some funny asides and awesome insight into the adventure of scientific discovery. Well recommended.
