I’ve had this book on my TBR (to be read) list since it was originally published in 2021. My book club is reading short fiction this year, and we chose it as our May read in the genre of memoir.
This is a very quirky and unusual book. Each essay covers some idea or object of interest to the author and reviews it, ending with a star rating out of five. The essay subjects range from Hailey’s Comet to diet Dr Pepper and everything in between.
I enjoyed this book. It was a fun, lighthearted look at some very serious topics and some almost ridiculous ones. It made me laugh as well as tear up. It really touches on what it means to be human. I give The Anthropocene Reviewed four stars.
My rating: 4/5
