Summary
Penguin presents the audiobook 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.

Loved this audiobook!
You can always trust that a John Green book will have a strong underlying message, and Turtles All the Way Down is no exception. Beautifully and intelligently written, Aza is an unconventional main character who is charming with her flaws, and both Pickett sons are particularly important characters in their vulnerabilities. Green puts into words many thoughts and feelings I’ve always had difficulty describing.
I was curious at the interesting title of this book, but it fits perfectly with the story, which kept me gripped the whole way through. Slightly different from his previous books, this is a must listen for anyone looking to get into the mindset of someone with a mental illness in a really relatable way.

Great book - engaging and informative
John Green does a fantastic job of writing a believable protagonist. that is both lovable and yet infuriating. that doesn't make perfect choices and feels very hooman. Great book.

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

Good story, robotic narrator
A beautiful story about mental health and how we live with it. It took me a while to warm up to it, but got hooked around a third through. The book is full of thought-provoking reflections about society, but also of YA-clichés. One of the only things that ruined this book for me is the robotic narrator, who sounds like an answering machine.

Slow but memorable
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.

A deep and real look at life with mental health
This story was so satisfying but for unconventional ways. The characters are struggles of different kinds coliding under one narrative. It shows quite clearly the difficulty of knowing that you are mentally unwell and not being able to do a thing about it individually. I would recommend this to all.

rather bland and uninspiring.
there's not really any mystery, great plot twist or character development. some nice points but overall disappointing.
