![]() ![]() The characters, their situations, surroundings, and dialogue all ring true. However, as the book ends, Aza may not be completely out of the woods. ![]() Green gets into what makes Aza the way she is, and how she eventually seems to reconcile her condition with the demands of the outside world. Green is more concerned with Aza’s plight than the missing father subplot (although it does have a bearing on Aza’s own life), and that emphasis on her is what makes the book more compelling. And then, when the pressure increases, Aza resorts to some very extreme behavior. Daisy’s looking to score a posted reward for the missing father, but Aza finds herself even more conflicted by her growing attraction for Davis. Things get even more complicated when Aza’s best friend Daisy gets the two of them involved in the search for a missing financial CEO, whose son, Davis, Aza knew back in summer camp years ago. But Aza, in addition to coping with the usual everyday pressures of life, has to also deal with Obsessive Compulsion Disorder, which puts an invisible wall up between her and her friends. ![]() John Green’s first novel in almost six years, Turtles All The Way Down is a compelling and powerful portrayal of a seemingly average sixteen-year-old high school student, Aza “Holmsey” Holmes. ![]()
