Yeah, a fun blast from the past but not a work of literary genius.

I'm not super sure how I feel about this book, right after I finished I felt like it was the most brilliant book of all time, but a day later I think I have more mixed feelings (I also read some other reviews). I always enjoy a graphic novel, and also would probably adore anything Bechdel writes, so am glad I read it.

Despite having listened to most episodes of the podcast several times, I still was not able to make it through this book without crying. I think the mark of a great book to me is one that inspires me to go out and immediatly pick up another, and the way John weaves stories and quotes and song lyrics into the story of his life makes me want to both devour and savor all of the light soaked moments in art. I have loved this book since I heard the first episode of the pod years ago, and I beleive I will carry it with me in the years to come. Given this, it is no surprise that I give The Anthropocene Reviewed five stars.
