Good! It's alright--a bit slow at first, easy to follow although the narrator/author's voice can be annoying. When I played it out loud, my husband woke up from his nap and said he could hear it in his dream and he woke up feeling so annoyed for having to listen to it. Also, all the praise for evolution sprinkled throughout the book is outdated. I wish the author had a modicum of knowledge of intelligent design.

Also, the audacity to blame the Catholic Church for practically all the faults in our western culture. Doucleff makes a major claim that due to bans on marrying cousins, because the Church was "obsessed with incest" suddenly that explains why families in Europe no longer did arranged marriages or whatever [insert multi-faceted issue here]...girl, WHAT?? Major reach. This was a HOT TAKE but not worded properly.
