Will Grayson, Will Grayson (Will Grayson, Will Grayson #1)

This was a really great read, it was incredibly heartfelt and despite some crazy situations it was still very down to earth. One thing this book had going for it was the way it was written in alternating voices. The authors, Green and Levithan, each took turns writing from the point of view of their respective Will Graysons. And they wrote the characters in completely different ways, the way the chapters are written corresponds with and highlights the differences between the two Will\’s. The characters themselves were amazingly easy to understand. Even though I couldn\’t actually relate to any of the situations they were in I still felt like the feelings were conveyed really well. The depression one of the Will\’s suffers was explained very realistically in the book and was handled in a way I haven\’t seen in many books before. He isn\’t discovering his depression, he\’s just at the point where he\’s living with it and it isn\’t romanticized. The other Will is going through problems with his love life (with Jane) and his friendship (with Tiny). I connected really well with the problems he was facing with Tiny and I felt it was solved in a wonderfully touching way. Overall I read this book in only a few hours, so it was a pretty quick read for me. I just didn\’t want to put it down. It was incredibly funny to the point where i actually was laughing out loud and by the end I had cried at least once. I would recommend this to most readers as a great book about love and friendship.

Unlike other John Green books, this one did not have me curled up on my bed crying for hours. However, it still had that \”can\’t-put-it-down\” quality that all of his books seem to have. I brought this thing with me everywhere- I would read it while waiting in the car, I would bring it to work and read it when business was slow, and I would read it in the middle of the night when I knew I should be getting some sleep. I absolutely fell in love with Tiny and both of the Will Grayson characters in this book and the story line was great. I have so many books on my reading list, and I\’m glad I checked this one off.

From the 11-year-old reader: Will Grayson and the other Will Grayson are incredibly different. Each of them tells a story that is wonderful to read about. They end up together in one of the weirdest ways — you\’ll never expect it. There\’s also a play within this book. The songs are well-written, along with the play. I recommend this book if you are looking for some wildly weird jokes, some emotional moments and a play about the tallest guy in the school (who does NOT like \”Over the Rainbow\”.)

Much too mature for tweeners & young teens. My belief is that it\’s more appropriate for maybe Jrs, Srs, young adults. Maybe my little part of the world just isnt ready for children to be dealing with these complex issues….unless they inquire or have questions. I\’m not introducing it to them for the sake of social education. There are lots of difficult challenges and changes and just growing up questions that teenagers have to deal with…..there are a lot of ways that people and families are different….they don\’t all revolve around gender confusion.

Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan is about 2 Will Grayson\’s and their life. I have to say I was not the craziest fan of this book under a third of the way in. The stories of both Will Grayson\’s separately didn\’t captivate me as when they actually meet. When they meet the story was amazing. I kept thinking about the book when I was not reading the book. Okay so Will Grayson 1, best friend\’s with Tiny and is known around school. Will Grayson 2, ex-boyfriend to Maura, and figuring out that he is gay. When their worlds collide it changes both of them for the better. They figure out what they want out of a relationship and learn to do something with said relationship. The reader keeps wondering how this story will go and what will happen to these two Will Grayson\’s. Funny and heartbreaking at times, David Levithan and John Green wrote an amazing book. Some of my favorite quotes: -That\’s the thing about Tiny: his problems are so huge that yours can hide behind them. -If anyone ever uses lol with me, I rip my computer right out of the wall and smash it over the nearest head. -You like someone who can\’t like you back because unrequited love can be survived in a way that once-requited love cannot. -One of these days, I keep telling myself, you\’ll learn to truly shut up and not care. -But I mean, why do you have to fix the salad? Who broke it? I didn\’t touch it. Did you break the salad, mom? If you did, YOU\’D BETTER FIX IT! -Being gay is not an excuse for being a dick. -It\’s all about falling you land and get up so you can fall again it\’s all about falling I won\’t be afraid to hit the wall again.
