I am definitely biased when it comes to any of John Green’s work. Having first read him as a teenager, I’ve both loved and disliked his works of fiction. “The Anthropocene Reviewed”, however, I loved. It’s smart, funny, and touching in all the right places, just as most of his books are. With insight that only Green seems to possess, readers learn both about him as a person and about the world we all live in, with a sharp focus on the recent pandemic. It’s a lovely nonfiction read. 

The only thing I disliked about this book was that I found it difficult to read huge chunks of it in one sitting. Truly, it is a conglomeration of reviews, and that can get a little tiring to read, so I often would read three to four reviews and put it down for the day. Other than that, I found it nearly flawless.
