About This Book
A collection of personal essays in which John Green reviews—on a five-star scale—aspects of the human-centred planet: everything from the Taco Bell breakfast menu and Canada geese to sunsets, Googling oneself, and the human capacity for wonder and destruction. Equal parts comic and moving, the essays originated as a popular podcast. A meditation on what it means to be alive in the present moment.
