"Green finds the language to describe the indescribable. . . . A must-read for those struggling with mental illness, or for their friends and family." --
San Francisco Chronicle

--The Los Angeles Times "Wrenching and Revelatory."

Turtles delivers a lesson that we so desperately need right now: Yes, it is okay not to be okay.... John Green has crafted a dynamic novel that is deeply honest, sometimes painful, and always thoughtful."
--Mashable
"Green does more than write
about; he endeavours to write
inside.... No matter where you are on the spiral--and we're all somewhere--Green's novel makes the trip, either up or down, a less solitary experience."
--The Globe and Mail "This novel is by far [Green's] most difficult to read. It's also his most astonishing. . . . So surprising and moving and true that I became completely unstrung. . . . One needn't be suffering like Aza to identify with it. One need only be human."
--Jennifer Senior,
The New York Times "Green's most authentic and most ambitious work to date."
--Bustle
"An existential teenage scream."
--Vox
"Funny, clever, and populated with endearing characters."
--Entertainment Weekly "An incredibly powerful tale of the pain of mental illness, the pressures of youth, and coming of age when you feel like you're coming undone."
--Shelf Awareness
★ "A richly rewarding read...the most mature of Green's work to date and deserving of all the accolades that are sure to come its way."
--Booklist ★ "In an age where troubling events happen almost weekly, this deeply empathetic novel about learning to live with demons and love one's imperfect self is timely and important."
--Publishers Weekly ★ "A deeply resonant and powerful novel that will inform and enlighten readers even as it breaks their hearts. A must-buy."
--School Library Journal Praise for John Green - 50 million books in print worldwide -

Critical acclaim for The Fault in Our Stars "Damn near genius . . .
The Fault in Our Stars is a love story, one of the most genuine and moving ones in recent American fiction, but it's also an existential tragedy of tremendous intelligence and courage and sadness." --Lev Grossman,
TIME Magazine
"This is a book that breaks your heart--not by wearing it down, but by making it bigger until it bursts." --
The Atlantic "Remarkable . . . A pitch-perfect, elegiac comedy."
--USA Today
"[Green's] voice is so compulsively readable that it defies categorization. You will be thankful for the little infinity you spend inside this book." --NPR.org
"John Green deftly mixes the profound and the quotidian in this tough, touching valentine to the human spirit."
--The Washington Post "[Green] shows us true love--two teenagers helping and accepting each other through the most humiliating physical and emotional ordeals--and it is far more romantic than any sunset on the beach." --
