Özet

Penguin presents the audio download edition of Turtles All the Way Down by John Green, read by Kate Rudd.

Sixteen-year-old Aza never intended to pursue the mystery of fugitive billionaire Russell Pickett, but there's a hundred thousand dollar reward at stake and her Best and Most Fearless Friend, Daisy, is eager to investigate. So together, they navigate the short distance and broad divides that separate them from Russell Pickett's son, Davis.

Aza is trying. She is trying to be a good daughter, a good friend, a good student, and maybe even a good detective, while also living within the ever-tightening spiral of her own thoughts.

In his long-awaited return, John Green, the acclaimed, award-winning author of Looking for Alaska and The Fault in Our Stars, shares Aza's story with shattering, unflinching clarity in this brilliant novel of love, resilience, and the power of lifelong friendship.

Once started I couldn't stop listening to it.
It makes you aware of and reflect on how surprisingly manipulative and impulsive our brain can be. You'll ask yourself a myriad of questions as you accompany Aza along her tightening gyre of thoughts: you'll see both the darkness and the brightest lights.
John Green's narrative is marvellously catching and thought-provoking. You'll love reading it!

A journey down the tightening gyre

Turtles all the way down is a gripping, well written young adult story which goes in directions you don't expect. The way mental illness, particularly OCD and anxiety, is portrayed in this book is brilliant. An honest portrayal without glorifying or stigmatising conditions. There are moments where you feel you are sharing Aza's pain and fear, and moments where you share her friend's exasperation. As always, John Green's teenage characters are intelligent, complex and a tiny bit pretentious, just how we like them.

A brilliant and poignant new story from John Green

A good story.
An interesting concept and a wonderful insight into another's mind.
I wouldn't count it as one of my favourite books outright, but as a portrayal of a state of mind it shares a similar standing with "the curious case of the dog in the nighttime" by mark haddon.
Performance was solid throughout and the narrator did well to capture the mindset of our characters.
Overall a solid 8/10. A good sorry, well told, and a collection of consciousness' that I engaged with and will likely continue to dwell on over the next few days.
A good investment of your finite existence

An initial thought

This is a great book. The author uses a metaphor for understanding the very deep and sometimes immovable struggles of someone suffering with OCD, that has transformed the way I think of and work with OCD sufferers in clinical practice.

Further to this, the book offers an experiential understanding of the difference between shrinking and expanding ones lived experience and sense of self. Beautiful.

Slow but memorable

The overall story was really good and I loved daisy's chipper personality and voice done by the narrator, but the main characters voice was so robotic I often thought I was listening to a computer reading of the book! I know it's the same narrator but that voice grated on me throughout. The story its self is basic enough but it's more about the disability and living with it, the inclusion of poems and quotes from all over through the character dialogue was a nice touch.
It's turtles all the way down...

Ermmmm do or don't I like this? Mixed...
