He's an intriguing character who is full of life and love for his friends and passion for writing a play called Tiny Dancer. The Green's Grayson has a best friend, Tiny Cooper. But his Will Grayson was darker, and yet also funnier, and his character arc was more poignant. I much preferred Levithan's chapters to Green's although I should forewarn you that he's not big on capitalization or punctuation. Apparently Green authored one Will Grayson and Levithan authored the other. The book is creatively told in alternating chapters by two different teenaged boys, both named Will Grayson. Don't get me wrong - it's a good book, and I can see why people might absolutely love it. Unfortunately, because I disliked this book so much, I don’t think I’ll give David Levithan’s work a go either.I don't really want to write this review because I know I am in the very slim company of people who didn't totally love this book. Overall, I just really did not like this book, and can’t think of a single person I’d recommend it to. His musical at the end made me smile and cry a little, which is the only reason why I have not rated this book 1 star. Neither of the Will Grayson’s deserved his love and friendship. The only redeeming part of this book was Tiny Cooper. Also, for a book about two people called Will Grayson, they had almost no interaction at all. It’s a wonder either of them had any friends with the way they spoke about them, like they were just friends because it was convenient rather than actually liking them. There were so many times when I was reading the book when I just wanted to reach through the pages and hit both of them on the head. They were so pretentious, although I expected that because it is John Green after all, and just so unnecessarily dramatic. Both Will Grayson’s were just so unlikeable. The reason I hated Will Grayson, Will Grayson so much was because of the characters. I’ve yet to find a John Green book that I like. In fact, I pretty much completely hated it which didn’t surprise me at all to be honest. Will Grayson, Will Grayson is told from the perspectives of two teenage boys, both named Will Grayson, and tells the stories of their lives and how it changes once they meet.Īs you may be able to tell by my very small blurb of the book, I don’t have a high opinion of it. As with many other books I’ve chosen for this challenge, I picked this book because it was already on my TBR list. For Prompt 12, “A book that is a collaboration between 2 or more people”, I read Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green and David Levithan.
