As a philosophical treatise and exploration of what makes us human, it’s interesting. Plus, every single person I know has absolutely loved this book. I’ve heard some people say it changed their lives. That’s why my rating is more generous than I feel.
Me? I found it so incredibly boring and slow moving. The narrator is emotionally detached, which I understand is intentional, but made for really dull listening. Maybe the audiobook format was the issue or maybe this just isn’t the book for me.
