I’ve read two of John Green’s novels and adored them both, but this might be my favorite book by him. It’s so vulnerable, and his ability to capture the messiness that is humanity on Earth is breathtaking. I don’t normally cry reading books, but this book made me cry twice. (Also: I listened to the audiobook, which was read by John himself, and I think gave so much life to it.) I give The Anthropocene Reviewed five stars.

A series of essays on humanity, our nature, our interests, and our impact on the world. I love John Green, and this book is a real change of pace from his novels.

It was interesting to reflect on all the various things John talks about and reviews, both on the surface level and as an analysis of humanity. I loved the way this book was written, and reading it as an audiobook and getting to hear John actually speak about everything really enhanced the experience.

I give the Anthropocene Reviewed 4.5 stars.

holy shit.
laugh out loud funny but also reverent, emotional and touching. the depth of human experience that green shows in this book is mind boggling and insane. both deeply relatable and such a wonderful picture into a very different mind and world. came out of this one feeling so different about the universe.
I rate the Anthropocene Reviewed five stars.

I liked it! I learned a lot about John and about his life but also about the world. Some essays were super interesting, some really not my thing. It moved me a lot in several parts and I did cry like, 4-5 times. The through line with the star reviews was nice, but it is a short story collection and maybe I just prefer Mr. Green's long story formats. Since I did very much enjoy myself though, it is a solid 4 stars. A good book club discussion book, just because of the small separate stories though!
