The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet by John Green
5.0
I listened to the audiobook.
I didn't know what to expect from this book except I thought it might be amusing to hear someone review things that that has happened during the whole period humans have walked this earth.
It was that, but so much more. John Green's essays are profound, thought-provoking, funny, fascination, sorrowful, relatable, and essentially beautiful. He inserts his personal experiences and impressions into each topic while also allowing himself to be vulnerable.
Some of my favorite essays included Our Capacity for Wonder, Diet Dr Pepper, Piggly Wiggly, Mortification, The QWERTY Keyboard, Three Farmers on Their Way to a Dance, and (most heart-wrenching) The Kaua'i o-o.
I give The Anthropocene Reviewed 5 out of 5 stars.
