I was thoroughly surprised by this book. I went in open minded, but I fully expected not to enjoy this book. I don't usually read nonfiction books. I don't go out of my way to find nonfiction books and beyond that general hesitation with nonfiction, the premise of the book didn't really interest me all that much when going into it. But I surprisingly really liked it. I did start to feel a little bored with the book near the end of it. But overall I really enjoyed it and would recommend.

No notes. This book was extremely educational and well-researched, but also deeply personal and reflective. Hopeful and moving and funny and topical and informative. A phenomenal listening experience.

Beautiful, thoughtful, informative regarding new subjects and insightful regarding familiar ones. A excellent review of Green’s collection of reviews from the modern age.

THE AUDIOBOOK! John narrates it himself (I find his voice so soothing) & one of my favorite essays was an audio exclusive. I just described this book to someone as a 'pop culture' book, but I think that does it a great disservice. This book is just so much more than that. I actually have not read any of John Green's novels (yet), but I have been following him and his brother Hank (read The Carls!) for a couple years, so I knew going in that John has a way with words. You may flip through the table of contents to read the titles of the essays and think this book sounds rather ordinary, but John is able to take even the most seemingly mundane topics and weave beautiful connections to (the often brutal) humanity. There were several times when I was misty eyed.

I give John Green's book 5 stars.

Fuck I love John Green. I give The Anthropocene Reviewed 5⭐️ 

Feels ironic rating this book which is a memoir told through short essays rating various things. Highlights include ‘you’ll never walk alone’ about his love for Liverpool and ‘Auld Lang Syne’.

NB why is JG a Ringo Starr hater? He is the coolest and least problematic Beatle 😭

The Kauaʻi ʻōʻō  story made me bawl my eyes out. I think I'm gonna have to buy the physical copy so that I can reread it at some point and highlight favourite passages. But also I think it's great to hear an audiobook of a book of essay by the author himself. With fiction it can feel weird since they're narrating their characters but with essays they're narrating their own thoughts which I think is nice.
