Kind of the opposite of the Burroughs books I've been reading this year, where it takes a while to lock in and then it's a straight banger. This one had an absolutely riveting first couple chapters, maybe especially so because I very much am into natural history and understood all the lingo. But the meat and potatoes of the story really didn't grab me quite as well.
