The World According to Anna by Jostein Gaarder

Actual rating: 3.5
I just wrote a review and now it's gone :,(.
If I had known beforehand what kind of book this was, I would have appreciated it more.
It tries to be a story, but it's more like one of my school books. It's full of info dumps. Something else that irked me was that the characters are, supposedly, all so 'special'.
It's a good thing I'm interested in climate change, because if I wasn't, I would have fallen asleep while reading this.
This book talks about the damaged we, humans, have done to the planet. There's also this story that's set in the future, so it's a theory of how the earth will look in a couple of years. Then there are the solutions, more like what we can do to not kill all the animals that live on earth. The story can get really confusing with future and past and whose point of view we are seeing things from, but I still found it interesting.
All in all, I would recommend it to people who are interested in climate change and want to read about it from someone else's perspective. However, I wouldn't recommend this to someone who wants to learn more about climate change, there are better sources for that.
