Nicole D. | 1573 comments I was definitely interested in this topic, and I learned some things, but I definitely didn't get an overall sense of "The Sixth Extinction" - What's going to extinct, when, and to some degree how. In the end it sounded like quite everything is effed and humans/global warming is a big culprit.

This felt more like a book of articles strung together in a haphazard way. And DNA strings don't make for riveting listening. But, like most mishmash books, there were some super interesting parts and the author was at times entertaining. (Not a huge fan of this narrator though, she sounds like Morgan Fairchild.)

LibraryCin | 11823 comments I knew I'd read this recently, but had forgotten that I'd actually listened to it until you mentioned the DNA strings! LOL!
