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

hopeful informative reflective slow-paced

4.5

Considering I’ve been a fan of John Green for almost exactly a decade now and I’ve owned this book for a hot minute, it’s about damn time I read it. This book has made me tear up multiple times. There’s just something about John’s writing that reveals such vulnerability and heart, particularly—likely on account of my own current feelings as a disillusioned and depressed twenty-something—the chapter on the film Harvey. I cannot in good conscience give it any less than five stars (4.5 on Storygraph, but I'm rounding up).
