Interesting Stuff (but not for me)

The "jokes" weren't funny and took away from the facts.
The fact are very interesting.

Listened to it over... and over... and over!!

I wasn't sure what to expect with this audiobook... and wow was I surprised! Very funny tales of the weird and wonderful creatures of the world! Very informative and hilarious. The comedic interludes were thoroughly enjoyable and so very funny. The Bee episode..... my favourite.

A must for light, funny, and informative listening!

Lack of passion / gives you 0 interest in animals

So many negative connotations about the animals mentioned. Ex: "disgusting", "so weird", "horrible", "they're the worst!". Pretty sure the author hates animals. If you just change those words with some that are more neutral (or even positive) like "odd", "peculiar", "special" or "unique", it would make SUCH a difference. Honestly, because of the choice of words, you get the feeling that someone is trying to convince you that animals are terrible creatures with a dark and disturbing side.
It did a really bad job on trying to show the more "unknown" facts about animals by sounding like a kid pointing out all the flaws in something just to ruin your day.
Also, if you have the intention of listening to this on speaker mode, please don't. Some are disturbing (ex: the one about bees and how males bees are sex slaves).
