A very sweet, hopeful, informative read. Went in expecting some fun information and tidbits, ended up getting more of a memoir of an amazing author (which just so happened to be packaged in stories about The Hall of Presidents and Diet Dr. Pepper). Great audiobook, beautifully read by John Green, and very easy to put down and pick back up as needed. Realistic about anxiety and the struggles of living through COVID while also being hopeful.

The essays are beautiful and can be sad at times, but are always hopeful.  I also learned a lot of trivia from this book too!

This is my first John Green book experience, but not my first experience of him. My first experience involve my boyfriend introducing me to VlogBrothers when talking about fond pre-college memories. I have since married this boyfriend and in turn he successfully made me a Nerdfighter. But I was still a jock at heart and reading was still off the table until this year when, as Green puts it, my entire life turned into a "What's the Point?" game.
Read this if you want to learn about the author, the man who has been present since before YouTube and now emerging from the "post" Covid-19 pandemic world. Be enlightened with new ways to describe the fuzzy static that happens during a panic attack with the familiar prose of a John Green video (probably the books too but again, haven't read them. Yet)
Only losing 0.25 because I' m mad i didnt think of this memoir format first, I give The Anthropocene Reviewed 4.75 stars.

This may be one of my favorite bits of writing I've picked up in quite a long time (perhaps since I read Clint Smith's How the Word Is Passed). I am excited to share pieces of this with my students, too, but it's wonderful and worth reading just on its own without needing to be "instructive" or "good for you". I listened to this (and Clint Smith's book as well) on audiobook, read by the author, which I highly, highly recommend.
