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

5.0

I don't read non-fiction often (actually, I don't normally read non-fiction unless I'm forced to, and even then I will drag my feet doing so), but this book was wonderful. It was a beautiful mix between sarcastic remarks, heartbreaking stories, things that make me angry about life, and hopeful, true tales that help keep back the nihilistic gloom of overthinking, at least for now. If you follow John or Hank Green on social media or you have watched any of their content, you should enjoy this. It felt very much like John was sitting beside my desk telling me about things he likes and dislikes about life. Everything from diet Dr. Pepper to a hot dog place in Iceland to Hiroyuki Doi artwork.

This was my first John Green book, but it won't be my last.
