For the sound effects I am imagining the author (who’s narrating) going full Foley in the studio. Also he has a sandpit.

Steadily plogging through the geology terms. I think I may have missed that it was a geology map when I picked this book up.

The Surgeon of Crowthorn, a book about words, was 200 pages long; every book after by Winchester seems to balloon well past that. This book needed more editing to remove repetitive points about Smith's map and character, as well as the geological history of the world which can be found in other books - much feels like padding, because William Smith's story isn't that interesting, at least not for 300 pages!
