You know when you have a late night chat with a friend, the topics of your conversation shifting from deep personal intimacies to inside jokes to silly stories and back again without judgement, and when it's all over, you feel like a layer of your shell just cracked a little bit, and like a part of you just healed a little bit, and like you just loved and were loved? That's how reading this book felt.

The Anthropocene Reviewed is an ode to humanity. It's simultaneously an examination and a love letter to life both collective and individual.

There are few books that have genuinely impacted my outlook on life, and it is no small thing to say that this is one of them. 

Thank you, John Green, for the tears, for the laughs, for the FASCINATING history of Monopoly, but most importantly for the hope. Because, in the end, that's really what this book is. A little beacon of hope.

I give the Anthropocene Reviewed 5 stars.

CW: immense discussion of death, pandemics, and mortality; discussion of anti-semitism and systemic oppression of marginalized communities; discussion of mental illnesses including OCD, anxiety, and depression.

I'm always a fan of John Green's writing style. However, while I liked some insights in this book, some of the essays felt repetitive.

John’s writing truly shines in this book. I loved every word. While it covers some heavy topics, the tone is hopeful. This book made me feel less alone.
