I listened to this book narrated by Attenborough himself on #audible and it took me quite a while to get through it!
.
But David Attenborough’s life has been fascinating, and I really enjoyed listening to the anecdotal snippets of adventures that he has been on, animals that he has encountered and life experiences that he has had.
.
I could also listen to Attenborough’s voice forever!

A very enjoyable listen. I am of course inspired to revisit many of the series discussed and related to the remarkable collection of anecdotes this book represents. Much more of a behind the scenes of the 'Life' documentaries than an autobiography but this is after all a memoir.

I love David Attenborough and his stories are so interesting, but this book just felt really slow to me and I couldn’t get into it at this time.
