A fascinating history of science. Ever curious how everything we know about the world came to be - read this! I loved reading about what old greats like Darwin thought about the world - they were all right about most things, but also very wrong about some things - makes you wonder how much we are wrong about today! Another interesting piece was how many of the world's prominent scientists had the time to do their research because they came from rich families. Very different from todays notion of 'trust funders'.

This is a bit better than a beach book, but perhaps not by much. Some of the "voices" are much stronger than others, and there is an artificial trick with a chocolate pie that does not seem believable. I am still going to the movie, though.
