Dry dry dry
I cannot believe that the author is narrating this as she seems completely removed and distant from the content as if she’s just reading any words for a paycheck. Phoning it in.
I don’t hear any excitement or detect interest or knowledge just someone sing song reading off of a page. Some of the info is interesting. Maybe go with the print version. Still dry but you lose the disinterested voice

This is really flat at the beginning. I started this a couple of books ago and was going to pick it up again and I find myself dreading it, although I want the information inside. I'm hoping to pick it up after Monsters and maybe the tone will change or I will find something curious and interesting to pull me in before I have to return it!
