Will Grayson, Will Grayson is a book collaboratively written by John Green and David Levithan. Attracting readers from both authors, this book is very different yet brilliantly written. The point of view of each Will Grayson is written by a different author. The Will who writes in Capitals and proper speech is written by David Levithan, the all small capitals with shortened words and dialog using names and colons by John Green. This is a new thing from John Green; he is so outroverted in his YouTube videos yet he has the ability to see inside of the mind of someone depressed as that Will Grayson is. The composed Will Grayson, or OWG ( Other Will Grayson ) is composed and his main issue is his friend Tiny. Tiny is the sheer opposite of his name, as he is the 'biggest gay-est person' on this earth, according to OWG. He is producing a musical which he is naming 'Tiny Dancer', filled with songs about finding out yourself which we get lyrics to throughout the novel. On the other hand, the depressed Will Grayson ( WG, for writing purposes ) has got an internet boyfriend - yes, THIS Will Grayson is gay. There is soon a turn of events and Will Grayson ends up trying to meet him, and he doesn't turn up. The final outcome; meeting OWG in a porn store on the corner. The rest of the novel consists of putting on the musical 'Tiny Dancer' with some friendship/ relationship trouble from both Will Graysons' to add to the drama of what is already going on.
The book is full of quotes, speeches and life messages. It is one of those books which makes your outlook on life change ever so slightly, almost unnoticeably at first. It is must read for anyone who has liked any past readers of Green or Levithan, despite the style differences. I would re-read it AND recommend it, the two authors have pulled it off amazingly.
Star Rating : ★★★★☆ / 4.5 out of 5 stars
