I listened to this with my husband. It was a bit hard to focus on at times because the narrative wanders quite off course frequently, but I really enjoyed the descriptions of and observations about nature. Thoreau philosophizes a lot, and he's pretty sure he knows better than anyone else how to live. He has a nasty attitude about poverty being the poor person's fault because they buy clothes (etc) as well. And why is the 1st chapter 3 hours long?
