An ambitious book on the broad subject of ethics without religion. It reminds me of 'The Moral Landscape' by Sam Harris, which is another great book on the topic. By large, it accomplishes what it sets out to do very well and is well written with a sense of humour. Well worth reading!
When it comes to animals and ethics, it's interesting to compare to e.g. Daniel Dennett's books on consciousness (see e.g. 'Kinds of Minds'). It's an important and always relevant topic that I will surely dive deeper into in the future. This book's value lies mainly in the big picture ideas and it's a good starting point for then reading more about specific topics.
