A beautiful story that I got the chance to read for school, I just wanted to travel into the book and be Darius' friend. Characters came alive and his story made me relate to him so much. A must read for youth!

It's a cute book. I liked Darius, but it felt a bit unfinished.

Darius is Actually Quite Amazing

I loved this story. I loved Darius and his fears and his inability to see his own strengths. I loved his friendship in Iran and his complicated relationship with his father. Yazd sounds beautiful and I want to visit now. Such a touching and subtle story. I'd recommend it to anyone.

Wonderful story

What a great, lovely, interesting book. I thought Darius was marvelous despite, or because of, all his worries and fears. All the characters were well drawn and believable. Iranian culture sounds fascinating and I want to go even more now, especially to Yazd!

Darius the Great is Not Okay and honestly neither am I.

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on April 27, 2019

I can’t tell you the last time I physically read a book in one sitting— the last time that I was so immersed in a novel that I couldn’t even bother to get up for a box of tissues. For three hours I sat in bed crying onto its pages and using my wrist and the collar of my T-shirt as a Kleenex— gross, I know, TMI. But this book, guys.. the way Khorram wrote Darius’s depression, I was just so connected. It brought me back to earlier in life, back when I was depressed long before I “had a reason” to be; back to when it didn’t make sense as to why I felt this way, before my dad explained to me what it meant went my doctor said I had a chemical imbalance. I didn’t have the words to describe my depression and anxiety.
I learned so much from this novel. About people and culture and myself. Following Darius’s growth was just so beautiful and heart wrenching. Closing this book after its last page left me feeling so warm and full and somehow hollow at the same time.
I’ve loved so many books in my life. I’ve never considered a book to be perfect until I found this one.

11/10. Darius has a special and huge place in my heart forever.

The Next Great Voice in YA

Disclaimer: I received a free copy of the book and chose to review it. This in no way impacts my opinion.

"Suicide isn't the only way you can lose someone to depression."

This was so good. I loved Darius and how he handled life. It was just so incredible to read about someone who deals with depression and anxiety. I just loved it so much. There were times when I felt a little meh about the writing. If you are a fan of THE SERPENT KING, this is the book for you.

I felt like this book really spoke to me. I could 100% relate to Darius and his struggles. I am bipolar and know what it's like to have the intrusive thoughts. Or to have thoughts that you know aren't right but you can't stop them from happening or acting on them anyway.

I absolutely loved the way Darius learned to be himself by connecting with his "past." I think it was such a brilliant examination of what it means to have family and history that you don't necessarily know and how to learn about that. It also looks at how to bring those two together.

I cannot say enough good things about this one. If you are struggling with mental health conditions, this is the book for you. If you want to read the next great voice in YA, DARIUS THE GREAT IS NOT OKAY by Adib Khorram is the book for you.

What a lovely book! Fascinating descriptions of Iranian (Persian) culture. Darius was a very easy person to like, and his depression didn’t dominate his life.

I look forward to discovering what happens to him in the sequel to this book.
