Synopsis via goodreads:Will Grayson, Will Grayson plunges you into the depths of conciseness, each sentence, is like reading a thought, the dialogue is minimal, but honestly when you dealing with thoughts, who needs dialogue? Instead of "just" characters Will and Will, are brains - which sounds weird doesn't it? But it's true, I literally felt as though I was inside there stream's of conciseness, they were characters I knew from the inside out, though honestly I don't think I could describe what either of them looked like, I am not sure I have ever KNOWN more, or FELT more about characters than I did while reading Will Grayson, Will Grayson.
One cold night, in a most unlikely corner of Chicago, two teens—both named Will Grayson—are about to cross paths. As their worlds collide and intertwine, the Will Graysons find their lives going in new and unexpected directions, building toward romantic turns-of-heart and the epic production of history’s most fabulous high school musical.
Hilarious, poignant, and deeply insightful, John Green and David Levithan’s collaborative novel is brimming with a double helping of the heart and humor that have won both them legions of faithful fans.
Both boys, written beautifully! Will Grayson, Will Grayson is not a book I feel like I can talk much about, it's tough to describe, even the synopsis is a bit confusing...but, if your looking for a book that's, down to earth, with real characters, whom are trying to find themselves - this is the book you should read...it's got just a little bit of everything, except for the ULTRA popular!
Bottom Line - Will Grayson, Will Grayson was not what I was expecting, though I can't honestly tell you what I was expecting - it might be boring to some, as there's not a ton of action; it might offend some, as there's a bit of sexual content; it might stun some, but then I think everyone needs a bit of a wake up call sometimes - in the end I am THRILLED that I was introduced to Will Grayson and Will Grayson! They are characters that will live on, inside me, there humor caught me off guard and the very realness of them, brought me to tears! I am also thrilled to have finally gotten the chance to read something by John Green and David Levithan and though I am not sure whom wrote which character, I know they both did amazing jobs - though I do have a favorite. I give Will Grayson, Will Grayson a 5 mushrooms - it's a wonderful book, I was scared I was not going to like and ended up really enjoying!
