Turtles All the Way Down by John GreenMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Probably the author wanted to make me really understand the condition our lead is going through, I appreciate the effort but it felt dragging already. I maybe rushing to finish the book that I find myself skipping her spiral thoughts and cut to the next scene already. By the time I reached the catch phrase, "It's turtles all the way down" and she has a certain aha moment I just felt utter relief like shouting "Finally!" and almost missed the whole point.
Picked up a few quotes I liked hence the stars :)

But for some people, the invasive can kind of take over, crowding out all the other thoughts until it's the only one you're able to have, the thought you're perpetually either thinking or distracting yourself from. p45
Your now is not your forever. p93
The question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence. - Edgar Allan Poe p133
