"The Anthropocene Reviewed" has a great premise and executes it very well. Each review contained within is endearing and provides insight into the human experience while remaining comedic in a familiar John Green fashion. The depth of the stories John shares are well contrasted with the absurdity of rating each experience on a 5 star scale. Each review is a short and mostly independent story which allows for casual reading. My only complaint is that some stories towards the end felt they had been a bit cut short and I wish there was a little bit more of a "grand finale", but maybe the absence of such a finale is part of it.

I give John Green's "The Anthropocene Reviewed" four and a half stars.

I enjoyed the book and it was a slow paced and lighthearted story as advertised. I enjoyed the story for what it was, but can't think of much that I would take away from it. I wouldn't be oppose to re-reading it one day, but I don't feel the need to do so either.

I am writing this review nearly a year after having read Rewire Your Anxious Brain, but I remember feeling that the book was well researched with a firm scientific backing and many references and recommendations for extended reading. I took some lessons away from it which I still recall from time to time and I do believe that it has helped me with managing anxiety.
