Hi guys!! I’m currently reading Turtles All the Way Down by John Green, and i’m realizing that I NEVER want this book to end. - I wanted to know if you have read a book recently that you didn’t want to end/putdown?!🥲 looking for more books to add to my expanding tbr!

More egregious audiobook changes!!

This time, instead of just adding unneeded flourish✨ with descriptions, they actually changed what happened 😭 (Not like, what happened but they put words in my man's mouth!!)

Book:

The boy said: If we had that little baby it could go with us. Yes. It could. Where did they find it? He didnt answer. Could there be another one somewhere? I don't know. It's possible.

Audiobook:

The boy said: If we had that little baby he could go with us. Yes. It could. Where did they find it? I don't know. But there could there be another one somewhere, couldn't there? I don't know. It's possible.

I'm not putting every change I come across in the forum (because that would eat up like 200 posts a day), but this one particularly annoyed me so I needed to put it on blast.

This one annoyed me more because much earlier in the book they were having a discussion about how the man usually doesn't lie to the boy unless it's about if they might die soon. And then also more recently, a couple pages back from this scene, the man's inner monologue / the narration explains how the man doesn't talk about life before the apocalypse or downplay their current experience to get the boy's hopes up.

So the audiobook specifically changing his response from not saying anything to saying he 'doesn't know' is a big fucking lie because he knows where that baby came from. He saw those people walking the night before.

Do you think I lie to you? No. But you think I might lie to you about dying. Yes. Okay. I might. But we're not dying.

Mer dining in underwater caverns, drinking wine from chalices made of cockles.

I think they're drinking chemicals? Like mercury or chloroform? Because wine mixes with water. Their wine would diffuse into the ocean. Things like mercury don't mix with water, same as oil, but unlike oil they're denser than water so they could actually sink into a cup instead of floating to the surface.

I watch in awe as false blood is spilled from the chest of a thespian, dissipating into the water around him instead of leaking into a puddle by his tail.

The author even thought of liquids dissolving in the ocean! This is from the next paragraph!
