This is a marvelous book. I work in the field of orientation and mobility, helping people with visual impairments understand and move about in the world. I find this more inspiring and insightful than the professional literature I consult. It's also a great adventure story, a keen psychological portrait of an exceptional man, and a smart sussing up of aspects of early 19th century England, particularly the popular intellectual strains of the day. The reader's voice is pleasingly, crisply British and he imparts a natural rhythm and sense to the text. My only complaint is that the bit rate for the recording is quite low, but that's almost universal among audiobooks and audible.com is making efforts to introduce higher quality sound.
