I’m thinking maybe audiobook was not the best format to consume this book in as it was very easy to zone out of and cloud over. And I think I would have benefited from some pictures to attach to the many names of creatures of old mentioned throughout. That’s not to say this isn’t a fab book though in what it contains. I can imagine in paperback, it would have been epic to read and the flow wouldn’t have been interrupted like it was with my audiobook.
It contains a bounty of information and a lot of informative content. It can make it a lot if read in big chunks at a time and would probably benefit to split this one up and read over a longer space of time to allow the info to sink in! Another thing I didn’t do as I only had a few days until my library audiobook was returned.
It was hypnotic and atmospheric to listen too even though my recall of a lot of this knowledge isn’t the best, I think upon a second reading I could learn a lot more. There seemed to be a lot and it was a fair overwhelming amount of information! It doesn’t go easy on you but it’s great in its depth. Perfect for those of a mind for palaeontology and history and I absolutely love reading about this subject. I did think this one would perhaps be a bit more whimsical, lighthearted and less heavy but it was great for amount of knowledge it had in it.
I struggled to give it a rating as the audiobook was not necessarily the best for me but it doesn’t reflect on how good the book actually was, so I think the book itself was about 4 for the amazing range of information but probably a 2 for my current enjoyment of it.

That this book can still get a handful of one-star reviews proves that it really is impossible to please everyone with a single thing. For me this book was beautiful, mesmerising even. Couldn’t recommend it more.
Fascinating and deeply informed overview. Well referenced.

Has this way of presenting information just so that makes it easy to see how the conditions of a previous era have brought forth characteristics of a later one, and how each individual element is connected to everything else
