John Green discusses his new book 'Turtles All The Way Down'

[@jessv2572]

It's so strange seeing John without jump cuts.

[@dragonsmith9462]

Not as strange as my internet habits. You ever hear of 'scripting'? That's where you write your own life. It's pretty hardcore.

[@BehindTheHarleyShop]

It's always weird to see John on these type of shows cause it feels like watching my friend on tv. I've been watching the Vlogbrothers since like year 2 so they feel like real friends.

[@brandon87281]

Also the interviewer thinks of John as an author first. I don't know if anyone else agrees: but he is a KZbinr first to for me.

[@doodleloo]

His voice also sounds so different, cause I guess he's just not in the comfort of his home and idk I prefer him being comfortable.

[@Zyswest]

Same!

[@dinosaurchickennuggets5138]

I totally agree with all these comments!! I feel the same way.

[@brav7856]

Agreed!

[@yesterdaysguy]

When you have someone as genuine as John next to the TV studio hosts you really notice how fake all of it is.

[@spj4you]

Ah, give him a break. He's not a Nerdfighter, just someone doing his job, interviewing an author.

[@dinosaurchickennuggets5138]

Yeah I mean nothing against the interviewer, he is just doing his job, but I like this comment because like that's something I thought subconsciously but your comment made me realize it and put it into words!

[@breannafinney2546]

that was my exact thought, and I didn't know how to phrase it so that people don't like attack me, but yes very well spoken

[@chloecarroll2685]

Lets talk about the seamless way he pivoted the gendered comment about "girls with anxiety"

[@agreenpar]

[@darcyreadssometimes3904]

I appreciated this interviewer. I've seen a few people really bear into John and be like, "what's that like?" and ask all these really invasive questions about his OCD, which seems to be particularly troublesome for a person who has these invasive thought spirals. This man did no such thing, and was able to get John talking a bit about things that are important to him. Good job, Good Morning America. Thank you.

"So many young women are struggling with anxiety" "I think a lot of people have anxiety-" You can just see John like 'did this guy really just pick a gender that anxiety affects?'

King of the Young Adult novels-John Green is much too humble to accept that title, even though I'm inclined to agree with it.

[@emiliz2071]

I was so confused like the whole book about the tittle and then I learned how it all connected and I really loved how he did that. I would definitely recommend it to everyone whether you can relate or not. It just over all shows people what is like to live like that. Its a great book and keeps you hooked I just couldn't stop reading it!!

[@gonzesse1437]

“KZbin Sites”??? Could you be anymore out of touch?

[@HolyMotherofGrid]

sites.... channels...accounts: who cares?? Just a slip of the tongue, not in the same league as inventing concepts such as "the interwebs", lol.

[@nehathejedi4962]

Seeing John in such videos is like seeing a friend talking to a parent or a teacher.

[@dcaotearoa]

This guy is my adult history teacher!! Crash course History is an amazing educational series, I was totally hooked on them!!

[@NathanOhsure]

It is so inspiring to see people really care about their audience and very sincerely want to make people feel less lonely. I love how John really emphasised that in this interview as well! Genuinely so lovely to see.

[@TheAireaidLord]

Had to look up this interview after reading the book. Man, what a great read. I can't totally empathize with Aza's condition, but I do understand what she means by the "thought spirals" or the gyre as Davis calls it. Such a deep read, amazing John. On a mission to read every John Green book!

[@princessof96]

WE WANT JUMP CUTS AND VIDEOS THAT ARE THREE MINUTES AND FIFTY NINE SECONDS

[@singinwithceline]

You guys forgot Katherines and Will Greyson, Will Greyson. Also I second the feeling of John/Hank being on Tv being weird because they feel like friends. Does anyone else also feel weird whenever Nerdfighteria is talked about as if it only includes teenagers?

[@docnevyn5814]

to be fair: Katherines is pictured and he had a co-author for Will Greyson

[@KaijaSchmauss]

I felt weird about that too. I was 19 when I became a Nerdfighter. So I was a young adult, but an adult nonetheless.

[@heroesfreak1994]

singinwithceline I was the person who asked the question on the air, 23 and not teens. Half of the nerdfighter/tuataria audience were older than 20. The producer didn’t understand the community. Thinking it was just fans of John, which makes me excited for “An Absolutely Remarkable Thing”

[@shanyeehaw]

Grayson* sorry

[@Cj-lu3pl]

Im just finding out the guy from crash course also wrote the fault in our stars 😂😂

[@kellys1458]

My book just arrived in the mail. I'm so happy. I'll happily pass it along to another fan once I'm done reading.

[@GingerGingie]

[@MusicsInMySoul977]

First of all - "Two KZbin Sites" *cringe* they're channels. KZbin Channels.ALSO YAY JOHN GREEN. And I love how no one ever mentions An Abundance of Katherines, like ever.

[@ineslime3929]

Emily C it’s such an incredible book, but it’s sadly just not as popular as TFIOS, Paper Towns, or Looking for Alaska. Probably because the first two have movies and the third is a little controversial. But An Abundance of Katherines is still an amazing book.

[@aprilp649]

Very well spoken

[@bighairedgreenie]

Ok, but you forgot Abundance of Katherines! Probably my favorite after Alaska (and I haven't finished Turtles yet)

[@Kate-my7ty]

"No one ever says goodbye unless they want to see you again."

[@mimi_wandering]

Yay! Thank you for putting this online. This book is so important. I read it in under 2 days which is a record for me. Thank you, John, for everything you do.

[@emilycaballero6052]

But what about An Abundance of Katherines...edit: okay I guess it was later in the video

[@via1408]

I'm interested to see the sort of publicity that Hank will get around his book!

I completed this book today that I had started yesterday. So you can figure out how really I was into this book and when I reached on the last page it was a like heart breaking bcoz there is no more pages ahead of that. BTW Aza is a great girl she tackled very well with her anxiety and Daisy is a great best friend like I also want a Daisy in my life who'll be always there for me no matter what.this was the 3rd book by John Green which I have read yet and I can surely say he never disappointed me ever. 💞

[@alvarogoenaga3965]

What is the genesis of the tilte of this book? I am intrigued as this phrase is attributed to Bertrand Russells' supposed exchange with an old woman about the origin of the Universe.

[@EliyaNotEmma]

Alvaro Goenaga He said that story is similar to the thought spirals people with OCD can have and how they keep going down and down.

[@hemp5699]

He connects the origins of the universe theory with that phrase "turtles all the way down " as it's never ending, just like the OCD thought spirals Aza Holmes has in the book.

I'm not OCD but I've had anxiety all my life. I just listened to John Green on 60 mins. Sounded interesting. Did a Google search. FIRST LINE "This is a young adult book"!! Really?! I'm 73, I was thinking finally I've found help.... But it's a young adult book.......hummm..What dork wrote that copy?? John are you getting people to review this book based on young adults?? Did I mention I've suffered with anxiety all my life?? I'm a black sheep in my family. The rumor is, I have a mental illness. I'm far from a young adult John. Now I really have an anxiety attack. We just don't matter. Not even to John. .....

[@RainInTheSunshine]

He writes novels, not phycology self help books, and they are considered YA because they feature young characters. You don’t have to be young to read it. But also, maybe give things a chance for yourself to understand them beyond just literally the “first line on google”. Read it for yourself to find out if it’s for you.
