With John Green, I can always expect to laugh or cry, depending on the nature of the book. For this novel, I spent a little time doing both due to the story’s humorous yet heartwarming nature. The two authors created separate Will Grayson and used them artfully, alternating chapters during the novel. I would argue that the book isn’t even actually about either Will Grayson, but about their mutual friend Tiny Cooper. This story goes a long way in preaching not only acceptance, but appreciation of our friends and it does so in a very stylistic way. The style of each other are radically different, with Levithan utilizing capitalization e.e. cummings would be proud of and Green integrating his usual less than popular male lead with a funny fat friend and striking love interest.

            Overall the book reads well and is highly recommended.

Review 2: Contributed by Victoria R., grade 12

          John Green is one of my favorite authors, who is known for his young adult novels such as Looking for Alaska and An Abundance of Katherines.  With his character, Will Grayson, he pulls in that awkward, self conscious, yet lovable character that he is notorious for writing.  David Levithan's will grayson (who writes without much capitalization) is a depressed, lonely teen, who's chapters alternate with Green's Will.  Levithan's will ends up falling for the other Will's best friend, the flamboyant, giant, and ironically nicknamed 'Tiny' Cooper; which ends ties the three together in an interesting way.  The two Wills are able to create a truly honest, non-synthetic blend with their contrasting personalities.  Any teen, or anybody that has been a teen, will be able to relate to the two of them.
         Unlike most young adult novelists, Green and Levithan are able to successfully create a world that is real to teens that doesn't end up being shallow and tacky.  Touching on themes such as acceptance, true friendship, and self-realization, this book is a great and even beneficial read that i would recommend to all teen readers.
