Notes from an Apocalypse: A Personal Journey to the End of the World and Back by Mark O'Connell

slow-paced

3.0

My expectations were maybe too high after being enthralled by O'Connell's similarly themed Guardian long-read [Feb 2018] and wishing it were a book. The pace, for me, was frustratingly halted by rehashing the same emotional point over and over. Parents might find this unfiltered anxiety relatable and cathartic, so maybe that's the point. Personally prefer a brutal edit, but my smarter peers have described it as 'crack-up', 'hilarious', etc. So ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
