Turtles All the Way Down question

This also was my first john green book and i absolutely loved it ....there are so many people in the world with illness like this just people dont always tend to see it.

I honestly hated it. I hated Paper Towns and couldn't even read any other of his books other than Fault In Our Stars, which I obviously liked. I feel like his writing is just not interesting.

Yes. I like it. It is neither the greatest story I read in history nor the heaviest drama being told. TOTWD is a simple but a truthful story of best friendship and resilience. I'm a psychology major so I'm a fan of those parts when Aza regularly consults her psychiatrist. Their therapy sessions happen in real life. Aza summarizes how an anxiety-driven person behaves. The best friendship between Aza and Daisy articulates how a best friendship can be. Their relationship is filled with misunderstanding but it's strongly fueled by trust and loyalty.

i didn't know if i sould write an answer to this discussion because i am more of a "if you don't have something nice to say don't say it at all" kind of person, but it is a discussion and an exchange of opinions so i ll write mein as gently as possible. i read the book after reading the fault in our stars which i quite liked... but i really did not like this book. Maybe i am totally out of that "teenage phase" and that is a reason for it...but i don't really think so.
The only credit i give to this book was that it managed to stress me out but not in a good kind of way... i was feeling kind of annoyed and uncomfortable while reading it. the story didn't overtook me...there was basically not really a plot in the book and the most important thing of all, i had been a teenager and had a million teenager friends! But these were no teenagers. they could be cheesy-petry adults but not teenagers! i have never met a tenager in my life that spoke like this or thought like this... i was constantly waiting for that thing to happen that would completely take me over and make me adore this book (since i 'd heard so many people saying they adore it) but that moment never came and the book left me all by all pretty dissapointed.

i loved tatwd. i wasn't a big fan of tfios but i found this book to be very interesting. i actually really connected with aza a lot. i found the plot to be a bit slow at times, but it thrived on character development which i really liked. i would highly reccommend.

I loved the way John Green portrayed OCD. A lot of people joke about being OCD over little things, but this shows the actual truth, and how it's not actually that funny. I started the book off thinking it was a mystery, and ended it thinking it was about Aza and her struggles with OCD.

the book was not john green's best work but i liked the way it protrayed the mental illness
I don't get it totally but i'm sure someone suffering from ocd or anxiety will.

I mean I like how Aza narrated the story at time and the end was very vague making mysterious which I like but sometimes it’s frustrating and you just want a clear answer.

At times*

Wow. This freaking book. It was my first John Green, and wow. Just wow. Please anyone who wasn’t read this READ THIS BOOK. NOW.

I don't know what to say about the book Its has a différent beginning and ending than the middle.Its like you can't remember where it all started but realize it at the end

This is the first book I read of John Green. The diction was interesting, but the overall plot was quite satisfying!

I didn't. I normally enjoy John Green's work, but this book 'triggered' me - very much so. I think I went into reading this thinking it would not just describe 'thought spirals' and other aspects of anxiety, but would also have suggestions for dealing with mental issues, and how to describe them to others. Not overtly, but through the characters. And at first it seemed like that's what was happening. But by the end it felt very nihilistic. The coping strategies and the relationships that seemed to be working just fell apart. The end of this book left me quite depressed, and in a dark place that took a bit of time to work my way out of.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I haven't thought about which John Green book is my favorite yet, but I think this one ties with Looking For Alaska.

I liked the way he expressed Aza's mental illness. I thought it was interesting to see how she thought and what she could/couldn't control because of it.

I think the only part of the book I disliked was the ending, and that's only because it didn't end the way I wanted it too! ha.

I didn't like it, I found it a bit trite and annoying. I am not a huge fan of YA fiction in general, but the Tomorrow series ("Tomorrow When The War Began" and the sequels) by John Marsden and "Came Back To Show You I Could Fly" by Robin Klein are two stand-outs by which I now rate all YA.
John Green just didn't cut it for me.

I didn´t like it, but I felt in love with Aza Holmes...

I loved this book. It's one of my favorites that I've read this year. As someone with anxiety, I could relate to the character and I saw myself as her in multiple different aspects, which was nice. I'm also a sucker for how John Green writes, so that does help it. I couldn't put this book down and finished really quickly. If you're into YA novels, this is for you.
