Turtles All The Way Down

"The worst thing about being totally alone is remembering all the times we wished we had been left alone. And then it happens, they leave you alone and you turn out to be a very bad company"

In my opinion, John Green is the most accurate contemporary writer. He has a knack for writing to teenagers who needed exactly that in their personal construction. He has the ton, the words, and the topics. 

This novel, which I just re-read this September, echoed in me like 'Looking for Alaska'. The story is not the same, and yet slightly similar. Just enough for us to notice John Green wrote it. His stories repeat themselves, without ever being boring, and that's the most magical thing in the world. 

I feel like his characters are one and only person, simply shown from different perspectives or at different periods of their life. Since I identify a lot with them, every single one of his books is for me a loophole that transports me into universes where I feel at home, in peace. An author who makes you feel understood when no one can is an author that succeeded; John Green succeeded. 

It is a novel that I read surprisingly fast for the amount of time my installation for college takes me, simply because I couldn't put it down. I read it everywhere : on the bus, at home, on sidewalks. It is a novel you wish you could re-read for the first time over and over (reminds you something ?), and that you truly want to recommend to everyone. 

You know this annoying question,: what are the 5 books you would take on a desertic island ? Well I don't know about the other 4, but Turtles All The Way Down would definitely come with me.
