Hate the AI voice.

Entire book is tarnished by the AI voice performance. Was an interesting book, but even the well written parts just come off so flat being narrated by a robot.

easy to comprehend

I really like listening to this as it was easy for me to understand and also it gave me a much broader view of what is in the ocean and what is at stake if we do not take preventative measures.
