The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet by John Green

emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring lighthearted reflective relaxing sad medium-paced

I always said that I wished John Green would release a book of essays because that's where his true writing talent was, and then he did but I never read it (whoops). I honestly am not sure why. I love the conceit of rating random things out of five, and taking those as a starting point for broader reflections. 

Either way, I'm glad I finally got to it as this is excellent. Green has a distinct voice and his insights provide much food for thought. There's also plenty of humor, which I appreciate, and sincerity that is not overly-sentimental (which you might expect from Green's fiction). Highly recommend.
