Listened to the audiobook which isn’t my ideal format because I get distracted easily. I thought for sure David Attenborough‘s voice would counteract this. And while it was nice to listen to this at the gym, I did lose attention a lot and just couldn’t force myself through before the library loan expired. I think I’d need an actual documentary with visuals because I’d actually want to see what’s going on with all the animals.
But that’s definitely a me problem and not a judgement of how good/bad the book is.

David Attenborough could write an entire book on ants and I’d read it. This book is a winding story of how the animals and bugs in this world exist in its ever changing climate. He tells of quirky habits of various bees and of the mating habits of various birds as well as every creature in between. It’s heartbreaking learning how we have changed the world so much that these animals suffer and also how some animals have to manage just to survive under normal circumstances. He narrates this beautifully and compassionately. A wonderful listen that teaches us way we should care about the planet we live on.
