A review by mukundshm
The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green

emotional hopeful informative reflective relaxing medium-paced

5.0

You know, this is incredibly different from all of John Green’s previous books, but I really enjoy it. It really flexes Green’s way with words. 

Each essay is definitely incredibly personal and incredibly beautiful, and it’s a great foray into non-fiction by a fiction author (and a fiction reader)! Of course, I took a while to finish it, but that was mostly down to the nature of the book - essays that are barely, if at all, interrelated.
