The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet by John Green
4.25
John Green is someone I will always admire and respect. As a person, as a Liverpool fan, as a writer. I grew up reading The Fault in our Stars, An Abundance of Katherines, and the rest of his beautifully written, impossible not to connect with YA novels. I also grew up watching the brothers Green (Hank and John) on vlogbrothers. In the Anthropocene Reviewed, I felt like I was filling a scrapbook with pages of John's mind. It was a pleasure to watch him tease out the painful heart of what may seem, at first glance, like an odd product or a history lesson.
The collection was like a series of beautifully folded origami animals, and reading each essay was like unfolding the paper, seeing the creases, and understanding how such beauty was made. John Green writes what I wish I understood how to write, and I'll always appreciate him for that and more.
