Fascinating and very current book

Revisado: 09-19-22

Loved this book. Great narration, story, and content was extremely interesting and well-researched. Never thought of connectivity as networking. Learned so much. The author did an excellent job laying out a lot of information in an organized and thought-provoking way. Very relevant to current events and provides lots of examples of different ways cities, countries, corporations, and people connect to each other. Flew through it - easy listen and well-written.

Excellent book! Very impressed

Well-researched, easy listen, and really interesting.. Topics /4 chapters were clearly defined and laid out . Surprising and interesting how much of California’s trees are non-indigenous and how much humans changed the environment in such a short time.

Amazing book - entertaining, interesting, and well read

Revisado: 08-19-21

Great book. Provides just enough detail without getting to political. Interesting facts and information is weaved in and well told and read story of Obama’s early life up through his 3rd year in office. Made me think about being president in a whole new way and reminded me why it is so important to have a leader that respects our history and triumphs their causes to drive change, fight social injustice, and protect the equality and freedom of everyone. I have a new perspective on the role of the Commander in Chief and the fantastic pressures they face. It’s truly impressive how Obama maintained such a stoic demeanor as he secretly grabbled with tough decisions and carried the weight of the world on his shoulders, knowing the chaos and danger in the world around us. I enjoyed hearing about his goals and beliefs, the reasons behind his decisions, the struggles and criticism he faced, and his triumphs in which he helped pass new laws, bills, and legislation to give people a better, healthier life with freedom to all. I can’t wait for his next book, highly recommended!

Wonderful book and performance

Revisado: 06-23-21

A perfect book to listen to at the end of day. Poetically written in prose. Very interesting content that is exceptionally well-written. Enjoyed all the different aspects of life that are discussed and interwoven into various sections that center around some type of tree and/or ecosystem. Great performance - narration is soothing and flows at the right pace. Easy to understand and drift off to sleep with or relax with when you’re in the mood for something more mellow.

Good book - more philosophy than science

Revisado: 05-19-21

Well-written and great narration, just not as much about octopus biology and habitat than I would have liked.

Captivating and interesting - excellent all around

Revisado: 05-19-21

I loved the way Richard Fortey writes. A ton of information is craved into this book. Very well-written. Author and reader do a fantastic job making the content captivating and woven together in way that brings you full circle. Highly recommend for geology and science fans.

Well written and an easy listen

Revisado: 03-27-21

Very beautifully written and presented. While content was ecological, geological, and scientific, book reads in an almost prose-like rhythm and is almost poetic.

Found the first part or book 1 to be a bit slower and harder to get into, but couldn’t stop listening to part/book 2 and 3. Recommended for anyone that wants to learn more about the ocean. My only criticism was very minor about narration - sounds like the author is puckering her lips together after the longer sentences. Overall, very informative and highly suggest for all audiences.
