One tiny little complaint some speeches are a bit repetitive.

When I started reading the book, I didn't realize it was just a collection of her speeches from her initial "tour" to encourage climate action. A lot of the speeches contain repeat lines and factoids. I didn't mind this so much though as it started to feel like this may very well turn out to be a historical record of some importance, evidence of a generation's fight for its future. It is essentially a transcript of pleas and one day, many will probably look back and wish her words hadn't fallen on so many deaf ears.

This is an excellent retelling of a set of speeches given by Thunberg. She is direct, too the point, and honest. It is truly refreshing.

> “I have Asperger's syndrome, and to me, almost everything is black or white.
I think in many ways that we autistic are the normal ones and the rest of the people are pretty strange. They keep saying that climate change is an existential threat and the most important issue of all. And yet they just carry on like before. If the emissions have to stop then we must stop the emissions. To me, that is black or white. There are no grey areas when it comes to survival. Either we go on as a civilization or we don’t. We have to change.” - Greta Thunberg

The audiobook is just over an hour long and 100% worth a listen.
