Turtles

Turtles All the Way Down is one of those "highly anticipated books!"  in my circles!  John Green is truly beloved.  I think he is an incredible guy.  And I give this 4.5 stars for sure.  Even 4.9 for sure.  Even 4.999999 for sure.   I read that this is a very autobiographical book for Mr. Green.  That article, as you can see, describes this book as the story of a "teenager's mind at war with itself."  And I understand that.  And a I feel Aza's pain.  And everything about Aza's story is so real.  And the only tiny part that didn't work for me, which is probably not even really a big part except that it kinda drives the plot is the disappearance of Russell Pickett.  I think maybe if I had to hear about him at all, I wanted to hear more to get a more complete picture.  But really, the rest of the book was so good that I suppose it is neither here not there!  Also I learned about the turtles all the way down cosmology saying!
