Unfortunately, I can only give this book 3/5 paws... 🐾🐾🐾

I had really high hopes for this informative book, but was left disappointed. It took me two weeks to TRUDGE through this timeline of Earth. 

I listened to Otherlands on Libby, which was incredibly challenging. I would have liked for Mr. Halliday to really make more clear which eon he was describing--I found myself lost in his descriptions of the environment, and unable to identify the exact time period being described.

I would like to take a stab at this book again in a digital/physical format, as I feel it would be easier to follow along. My simple raccoon brain needs pictures for a book like this lol. Unfortunately, my library app only had an audiobook version, and I'm not willing to buy this book with my own moneys.

This is a great book to introduce the history of life. Could use more plant focus....
