Will Grayson, Will Grayson
by John Green, David Levithan
There were some really fabulous parts about it. Truly. But I do think that I got my hopes up a bit too much. There were impossible standards to meet. And quite frankly, I think that David and John’s writing styles meshed really oddly. Not badly, but Levithan is a very lyrical writer and John’s style is fantastic descriptive prose. Levithan institutes some very intriguing conventions by never capitalizing anything in his chapters. Green's Will Grayson is an intensely relatable character with humorous inner dialogue. The character of Tiny Cooper makes the entire novel come full circle, even though I'm not actually sure if I like him. In actuality, I'd give the novel 3.5 out of 5, but that's not an option. There were a lot of things that were lovely and a few things that were lackluster. But I would rather read “Looking for Alaska”, “Paper Towns”, or “The Realm of Possibility” any day. However, there is no denying both authors are incredibly talented
