Charles and Emma

I really did not want to read this book. I was afraid that all it would talk about was evolution and the importance of Darwin's research. But I wrong. This book turned out to be a pretty good read. Charles was a likable person even though he did not believe God had anything do with creation (to me that was not a smart move on his part) but anyway. It was a good thing he convinenced himself to marry Emma. To me Emma was part of the reason Charles was able to be so successful. She was the one who took care of everyone and made Charles rethink his theory's and to be conscious of how people would receive his scientific ideas. Even thought Charles was a sickly man I believe him and Emma had a very good life together.

This would be a good book for middle schoolers to read when they are learning about Charles Darwin's envolution theory.
