Turtles All the Way Down by John Green
3.0
3.5 stars
You're trying to find the turtle at the bottom of the pile but that's not how it works.
The thing about John Green is that his writing is almost always more beautiful than the story itself. This book wasn't as good as TFIOS, and for me, at least, John Green is always going to be the guy who wrote TFIOS. But it doesn't mean that I didn't like this book. This book was a quick, fun read, and I really enjoyed Aza's character. I could really emphatize with her. The ending of John Green's books are either very shocking or very surprising, and they almost always leave you with tears in your eyes, and this book was no exception in that regard.
None ever says goodbye unless they want to see you again.
John handled the topic of OCD quite well. After reading this book i can imagine how it must be for people who suffer from this disease. How it must be to feel trapped in a body that's not even yours. The writing was magnificent. You will find little pieces of gems embeded on every page that will make you wonder about your life, universe and everything there is.
Characters were a bit cheesy tho. The girl who doesn't fit. Best friend who is full of life. A guy who is pretending to be strong when is completely broken inside.
Overall the book was interesting but not as great as John's other books, but I'd say it's a lot better than looking for Alaska and abundance of Katherines.
