Formatting would have benefited greatly with the use of footnotes, which in turn would have helped with pacing and flow.

I found myself reading an essay or two about topics I had varying levels of interest in, and on to the next essay I would read the title and often put the book down because I had had enough of the meandering stream of consciousness associations for that session.

There were some things that I found value in, but it wasn’t really my cup of tea.

Fuck I love John Green. I give The Anthropocene Reviewed 5⭐️ 

Feels ironic rating this book which is a memoir told through short essays rating various things. Highlights include ‘you’ll never walk alone’ about his love for Liverpool and ‘Auld Lang Syne’.

NB why is JG a Ringo Starr hater? He is the coolest and least problematic Beatle 😭

The Kauaʻi ʻōʻō  story made me bawl my eyes out. I think I'm gonna have to buy the physical copy so that I can reread it at some point and highlight favourite passages. But also I think it's great to hear an audiobook of a book of essay by the author himself. With fiction it can feel weird since they're narrating their characters but with essays they're narrating their own thoughts which I think is nice.
