laugh out loud funny but also reverent, emotional and touching. the depth of human experience that green shows in this book is mind boggling and insane. both deeply relatable and such a wonderful picture into a very different mind and world. came out of this one feeling so different about the universe.
I rate the Anthropocene Reviewed five stars.

I found myself reading an essay or two about topics I had varying levels of interest in, and on to the next essay I would read the title and often put the book down because I had had enough of the meandering stream of consciousness associations for that session.
There were some things that I found value in, but it wasn’t really my cup of tea.

john green was one of my favorite authors as as teen, and i am so glad to still be learning from him. his unique experience as an almost-pastor, a writer, a father, and a person who struggles with mental illness all really inform this beautifully reflective and inspiring body of work. his voice (literally and figuratively) really shine through each chapter and the context/further research provided made me feel like i was FEELING but also LEARNING at the same time.
i'm not sure what i expected from this book, but it was certainly profound. i found myself considering not just the human condition but my own place in the world and my own motivations. this was a really beautiful read, and i highly recommend it to anyone who likes memoirs, non-fiction, or yelp reviews.
