So gorgeously written and read

Now I understand why John was so nervous about this book. It's hauntingly and harrowingly personal. Just amazing!

Beautiful Essays about being human

John Green cuts himself open and bleeds over these pages. He speaks with fierce honesty about the experience of being human in a world that is beautiful, cruel, and awesome by turns. His sincerity and humor make the experience joyful rather than painful. In sharing the incredibly personal details of his own life and experiences he manages to find universal truths to which everyone can relate.

Excellent! Absolutely worth the listen.

The Anthropocene Reviewed is one of the best audio book experiences I have yet had. John Green's cadence and intonation as well as his mindful adaptation from written word to spoken are memorizing. Wonderfully insightful, I found myself fascinated with topics that I would normally judge mundane. I give the Anthropocene Reviewed... 5 stars.

I love John Greens voice and cadence

The way John Green reads his book is like a mediation. Like waves gently washing up onto the shore. I feel more calm and introspective after listening to him tell his stories. I give Anthropocene Reviewed… five stars

A wonderful listen

Probably the best book to come out of the pandemic. Immensely accessible, and simple yet profound. Would highly recommend! We all are weak, frail and vulnerable in our own ways. But the collective experience of sharing one’s stories about our journeys navigating the Anthropocene, sharing our vulnerabilities, and working together to make life a beautiful place for us all- is truly what reflects humanity’s strength. This book will make you feel many emotions, but it will remind you about our collective strength at some point, and leave you with hope.
