While I don't include audiobook performance in my star rating of a book itself, I have the unique experience here of being able to critique the same person twice. Because John Green is an incredibly gifted speaker, and because I believe that audiobooks voiced by the author themselves have the potential to be the best of their kind, there's nothing about this narration that didn't hit the mark. I give John Green reading his own book the Anthropocene Reviewed... 5 stars.
Moderate: Bullying, Chronic illness, Mental illness, Grief, Alcohol, and Pandemic/Epidemic
Minor: Cursing, Death, Domestic abuse, Emotional abuse, Panic attacks/disorders, Suicidal thoughts, Medical content, and War
While it is a generally mild book, The Anthropocene Reviewed is written during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent shutdown, making loneliness and all things pandemic-related a recurring theme. Additionally, as John Green is diagnosed and medicated for his mental illnesses, being mentally unwell is also a theme.cinnamonroll42's review against another edition

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.

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.
