Status Updates From Sentient: How Animals Illum...

Finally came in at the library. Hearing good things...

Fascinating book so far...

Chapter 4 about the vampire bats and pleasure and pain was interesting. But I just want to be done with this book.

Chapter 2 is a little more interesting than the first; learned about a new species. I do appreciate the author introducing us to individual animals that represent their species at large.

There’s a reason this is my third attempt listening to this book.
For starters, the main title is misleading; the author doesn’t really make any argument related to animal sentience of consciousness, but is just talking about senses. If that continues to be the case, I recommend people read Ed Yong’s book instead.
The first chapter was dry + information-dense, and lacked any significant takeaway.
