Oh wow, I LOVED it! What a beautiful, humane, captivating family. Quarter star off because the two secondary narrators they threw in for 2 minutes at the end were terrible. The two main narrators were terrific, though! (And honestly, I might have taken issue with the unnecessary POV shift even if I had been reading in print...so not entirely the terrible narrators' faults.)

Craig wants us to get back to our wildness using wisdom from his ocean diving and "indigenous teachers". Sorry, but this is some whyte boi shit. Leave the crocodiles alone.
