The audiobook was great with a good narrator.
Slow paced to start but really picks up as the tension builds until you don't want to put it down.
A lot of social commentary on environmentalism, activism, capitalism and the existence of billionaires. From a white middle class western perspective but this is acknowledged and intentional I think. A lot to unpick.
