Very interesting and entertaining - lots of cool animal facts, though I'm bound to forget most of them again within a few weeks. Lucy Cooke goes through the history, myths (and their origins) and real facts about all the animals she covers, and it's clear she is passionate about the subject as well as extremely knowledgable.
Warning: there are some parts where she goes into detail about misguided and cruel experiments done on animals (in the name of science) which may be tough for sensitive people like myself to stomach. I found I could bear it because know they didn't do it to be cruel, and they didn't have the same sense of animal rights/compassion that is more commonplace these days, though the bat chapter in particular got a little rough.
A note on the audio book: she narrates it herself and I found her voice a little jarring. Also when she quotes something from any book written by a man she puts on the same kind of "hurr durr, I'm a man" voice (in lack of a better way to explain it) which gets a little tedious. But overall the narration is fine.
