The idea of the story is good.

The narrator pronounces a few words in an odd way, "zoeology in stead of zoology". But he does have a nice voice. The overarching idea of the story is good. it has a slow start I wasn't sure I would continue listening. I'm glad I did because the pace finally picked up.
the Author and Editor to not always show sometimes they tell. the author says some things that are redundant for example, " headlamp". he uses the word headlamp repeatedly in a few chapters.
he shows redundancy by saying things such as, " he looked with his eyes" and " he listened to with his ears" and " he said with his mouth". these redundant taglines are not necessary they are actually distracting. however if you can force yourself back into the story it is worth a listen because the overarching idea of the story is good.

A great story with a poor ending.

Good story but it just lays there. All that drama without a coup .Just stops. very disappointing.

Good monsters, absurd tale.

Millionaires set forth on a tour of a tropical rain forest park where they have no body guards, they are allowed no weapons, and there is no security force to provide backup protection. What could go wrong? Good creatures, absurd story.

Awful

The premise had promise, but the book just never gets better. The characters are 2 dimensional. The author uses unnecessary smilies like there's an award for how many one can cram into a single book. I wonder if there's also an award for how many times he could use the word "entrepreneur, " as that's how several of the characters are referred to all the way through the book, long after their profession had been established.
I've made it through 85% of the book, and can't continue.
Really, it's awful. Save yourself.
