I know I should probably come up with some deep and philosophical reason for loving this book as much as I do, but I can't. I love John and David's writing styles, and I love how they bring out their views in a way that I can honestly understand. With Johns chapters, I felt I knew Will #1, and with David's chapters, I felt I knew Will #2 as well. The details and well rounded characters make this book beautiful.
I think, that one of the main ideas of the book was, that being gay or straight, isn't so one-sided as one might get the impression of in the media. I also think this book is brilliant because it's deep and meaningful with out being I-just-threw-up-in-the-back-of-my-mouth pretty. The characters were all very three-dimensional, and wasn't emideatly characterized because of their gender, sexuality etc.
I recently read it and it's my least favourite John Green book for sure. I did like it. John Green's usual humour was there and it was interesting comparing his and Levithan's writing style but I found Will Number 1 too similar to other main characters in the other books. I would still recommend it.
I really liked this book, I've been reading John Green's book and I really enjoyed this one, especially the very different personalities of both Will Graysons, however I preferred Levithan's Will Grayson. It felt more real, it was more soulful than John Green's Will Grayson. Although I wasn't very fond of Green's Will Grayson because I felt like I was reading the same character of all of his books, I could still relate to it because it portrayed an authentic teenager. This book definitely made me read more of David Levithan. I couldn't wait to finish John Green's chapter so I could get to Levithan's chapters. I preferred the way he told the story, his writting style, and the character's depth. Overall, it was a very good book, very relatable whether you're straight, gay, a teenager or an adult. I highly recommend it.
I really enjoyed this book. I got it from Barnes and Noble and I like looking at it sit with all my other John Green books on my book shelf
This was to say, my favorite John green book ever. I've read all of them, but this one just Stood out to me as in, I guess, it showcases not only the relative happy side but also the darker side with Will #2. Not a lot of people I know read this book because its weird, or Atleast that's what they say. I have a lot to say about this book, it is my favorite after all!
