- So many essays in this book had me thinking, oh this will be silly. Rating the Disney Hall of Presidents? This will be a laugh. Yes, but then he'll take a roundabout through a seemingly unrelated anecdote and suddenly you're crying while commuting to work.
- I do think a lot of the power of this book comes from the fact that Green wrote much of it during the early stages of the pandemic, and he frequently references that in the text. But it also adds more layers to the essays, helping to bring our current moment into the context of the whole of human history (whether or not that makes you feel better about the state of things...I'm not sure).
- I do recommend the audiobook for this, as Green puts so much emotion into his reading. Plus, you must hear the call of the extinct bird included in one of the essays. I hear the print version has additional notes, though, so I'll be checking that out as well.

The way John Green manages to write about seemingly everyday actions or items and relate them to the grand scheme of things in life and living is exquisite.
I recommend this book to everyone. I am certain you will find at least one of these reviews to relate to. If not the reviews, the notes pages and recommended section of 'also by this author' offer some good bits too, of course.
I am now unsure whether to continue with Turtles all the way down or one of Hank's books or rather space them out a bit so that I can enjoy them fully.
I give reading 'The Anthropocene Reviewed'experience wonderful 5 stars.
