Reviews" Green uses the stories of real people to turn overwhelming problems into something personal and understandable ." - The Associated Press " Everything Is Tuberculosis doesn't so much tell you the story of tuberculosis, as much as it gently holds your hand and parts the curtains into one of the darkest, most bizarre, and frustrating series of decisions in world history with the other.. A quintessential John Green book: one that grapples with the issue of mortality and our conflicting desires to both help and hurt one another, all within the backdrop of the coming of age of a young man. " -Slate "Henry's story is hopeful and heartbreaking ; readers will be rooting for him and his family the whole way through." - SLJ , starred review " An exceptional combination of memoir, medical history and cultural analysis .... Memorably probes the intersections of medicine and human emotion." - BookPage , starred review " Green writes expertly of the illness's history, causes, and cure .... Makes what might be inaccessible accessible." - Booklist , starred review "In these challenging times, the global health community is fortunate to count on Green and his inspiring advocacy ." -Madhukar Pai, MD, PhD, The Lancet " A story of hope and tragedy that feels terribly relevant at a time when the global healthcare system is coming under attack." -The AV Club Praise for The Anthropocene Reviewed #1 New York Times Bestseller * #1 Wall Street Journal Bestseller * #1 Indie Bestseller * USA Today Bestseller * International Bestseller Goodreads Choice Nonfiction Book of the Year "Masterful.
