emilyctrigg 's review for:
The Insect Crisis: The Fall of the Tiny Empires That Run the World
by Oliver Milman
2.5/5
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for sending me an advanced audio copy of this title in exchange for an honest review.
I don't have much to say about this title. I learned some interesting things about insects and climate change, but the overall narrative of the story was completely disjointed and hard to follow. I felt like every time the author wanted to make a point, he used 12 scenarios to make his point when 2-3 would have sufficed.
In addition to being hard to follow, the narrator wasn't great. He narrated the book like it was a soap opera and not a nonfiction title about climate change and insect population crash. It was hard to take the content seriously when the narrator was so melodramatic.
Overall, I wouldn't recommend this title unless you're a huge science nerd, and even then I would recommend this as a physical read and not an audio one.
