Book Review: Will Grayson, Will Grayson


Title: Will Grayson, Will Grayson
Author: John Green and David Levithan
Format: eBook
Rating: 3.5 / 5.0


What happens when you’ve got two of the most brilliant authors of today’s generation and let them work together on a book? You’ve got Will Grayson, Will Grayson! Completely funny, moving and foul-mouthed, this book is a must for young adults out there.

The book is about two teenagers both named Will Grayson. The first Will Grayson, who narrates first, is a big city boy who has the biggest (and gayest) best friend in the world. Stuck with his only friend, he can’t help but help his friend in producing the most fabulous musical their school has ever had. The second Will, is a suburb emo who would rather die than to live in this depressing spherical object called Earth. Although their personalities may be entirely different and their lives are not the same, what happens if they cross each other’s paths in a cold and dark Chicago night?

While other might be ticked off of the second Will’s narration (seeing everything in lowercase can piss people off), I loved how vulgar and ruthless he is. Take that F***weasel! I like the impact both Wills did on each other’s lives and how they will have one BIG thing in common. *wink*
To conclude, I think this book is absolutely brilliant with a beautiful ending that can move hearts.
