comment on editions #86 & 87

For various reasons up till recently I had not read much of the Griffith Review. I like a good non-fiction essays, and had appreciated that this publication put out a  selection of essays that should have attracted my attention. And so over January, I bought these two editions.

Maybe my expectations were too high but I found reading both of these very disappointing. There’s a few good essays but the rest were of little interest – too lightweight.

Feel free to disagree – here are links to information about these editions

the Griffith Review #87  – rating 2/5 stars

the Griffith Review # 86 – rating 2.5 /5 stars

Meanwhile I totally enjoying John Green’s  – The Anthropocene Reviewed.

More on this book later – and he uses a star rating system for all sorts of topics.

So far – my rating for his book would be 4/5 stars.

But that may change up as I am yet to finish it.
