Would you consider the audio edition of Darwin Slept Here to be better than the print version?
I did not read the print version so I cannot say for sure.
I can, however, speculate that it is better because the performance was so good.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Darwin as a young man came to life so it would have to be him.
What does Nick Sullivan bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Nick brings more emotion, excitement and humor. I got each passage as I was listening instead of having to occasionally re-read sections once the intended emotion became evident.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Finding the old building that Darwin possibly slept in is especially moving to me as I have felt similar emotions while metal detecting for historical artifacts in old places. The closing comments about getting out and participating in adventures were also great.
Any additional comments?
My wife and I are preparing for a month long hiking trip to Peru, Chile and Argentina in a couple of weeks and I hoped to find a book that would fire my curiosity about the area. This book did just that. My most rewarding travel adventures have been when I eventually experienced that which I had imagined through another's creative viewpoint.
