Not enjoyable as an audiobook

This book covered a lot of things I've never heard of before, which is exactly what I was hoping for. Unfortunately, I think this book really relies on the images that are included and I listened to it.
The author references a supplementary PDF, and maybe that exists in my file somewhere, but I listen to audiobooks while I commute, which means that I definitely can't be looking at dozens of pictures as I listen to the author explain things that I have no knowledge about.

I must admit that I also wasn't that partial to the way the book was structured anyway. So even though there were a lot of small tidbits that I was really interested to learn about, I couldn't really focus or keep up with anything that the author was talking about. Part of this was because I couldn't visualize the things that I didn't have pictures for, but part of it was just that I didn't really understand him.
I know the beginnings of a lot of things I want to look more into now though, so that's good at least.
