Just too slow for me. The content itself is good but I feel like it could have been half the length and still given the same messages and information. Maybe I just wasn't in tune with it!

Loved it! The writing itself is easy to follow for scientific minds or not and is very engaging. My only criticism is that I would have preferred more emphasis on environmental factors described in the epilogue but, alas, that's a job for another book!

I started reading this a few years ago and DNF-ed it. I'm glad I tried it again. The story is a slow burn but wonderful. The audiobook narration isn't the best but I enjoyed the story enough that I'll go back and read it again.
