Book Summary and Reviews of The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green

Media Reviews

 "Each short review is rich with meaning and filled with surprises and together, they amount to a resonant paean to hard-won hope." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"This is a book about culture, about science and medicine, about Green himself, but really it surpasses these designations. It is essential to the human conversation. John Green whispered the truth of humanity onto the page, and as with all good secrets, you'll need to lean in closely to hear." —Library Journal (starred review)

 "Each of the entries in The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet is a small gem, polished to near perfection…. What unites them is [Green's] uncanny ability to structure each piece as both a critique of human foibles and an embracing of them." —Shelf Awareness (starred review)

"The Anthropocene Reviewed somehow satisfies all the contradictory demands I have for a book right now: it stimulates my brain while getting me out of my head while taking me to faraway places while grounding me in the wonders of my everyday. I'm so glad it's here. I need it." —Anna Sale, host of Death, Sex & Money and author of Let's Talk About Hard Things
