Very hate-able narrator that makes you consider what might be going on in the minds of bad people. Not an easy read from a content perspective, though. I didn't put down the book with sympathy for him or any particular action item, but it was still interesting. I also appreciate the lore around the author's anonymity, even though it may have been a publicity stunt like some have speculated.
Solid, easy to read introductory book to environmental economics - but emphasis on introductory. Having studied environmental science in school, supplemented by many other books, this book felt very much like a beginner book. Also, while it's not a long book, I felt like parts were redundant and could have been shortened.
Overall, wouldn't discourage anyone from reading but for those looking for a more in-depth view of environmental economics should maybe consider “Natural Capitalism” instead.
This book is written from the perspective of a young narrator who is, rightfully, immature and chaotic. The author executed on that tone of voice well and so I was... frustrated by the character. I think this was intentional, and the book reached enough depth by the end for me to have some thoughtful takeaways. However, overall I didn't thoroughly enjoying reading it for the most part (mainly the first half). I plan on picking up the author's next book, though.
