Book Review 13 - Will Grayson, Will Grayson - John Green and David Levithan



SynopsisOne cold night, in a most unlikely corner of Chicago, teenager Will Grayson crosses paths with. "Will Grayson"! Two teens with the same name who run in two very different circles suddenly find their lives going in new and unexpected directions. Culminating in epic turns-of-heart on both of their parts, they team up to produce the most fabulous musical ever to grace the high-school stage. Told in alternating voices from two award-winning, popular names in young-adult fiction - John Green (author of "The Fault in Our Stars") and David Levithan (author of "Boy Meets Boy") 


The Review: 


My first LGBT book and it was beautiful. It wasn't too dramatic nor too sloppy. I don't know how LGBT books are supposed be since I`ve read only one but this one is enough for me to read more.

Just remember not to judge a book by it's first few chapters. It can get better or it can get worse, in order to find out YOU HAVE TO CONTINUE READING.

John Green and David Levithan did a good job. Both are gifted writers.

I really liked Tiny Cooper in the book. He was open about his sexuality and he didn't care what anyone thought. I secretly I was like him - Really Don't give a quak!about what others say and others comments but again, the book is  a piece of fiction, yet motivating to be yourself. I was bit mixed about what exactly the book was saying until I read what JG and DL had to say at the end. But over all I liked the book. I loved the while chapter about the play and how everyone stands up at the end. I could feel it happening.

Also you will notice that the chapters written by David Levithan are in lower case. When John Green asked him why did he write using lowercase, he gave the most logical answer that helped me understand the character better, He said the character thinks of himself as a lower case and when chatting people often tend to use lower case so that's the reason behind the lowercasedness.

I have nothing bad to say about this book. It is too real and too true to be fiction in the first place. (We) I never had a idea of what people go through after their companions (here, everyone) gets to know about their sexuality.

I was very happy with this book and I thank my online friend from a whole different country/continent for suggesting this book to me.

Also the book ends pretty well, you might have tears in your eyes but we all love Tiny! I sure you will once you read the book.






















Praise For The Book - 

Funny, rude and original (New York Times)

A terrific high-energy tale (Booklist)

And many more amazing reviews. 


My Favorite Lines/ Quotes

you'd think silence is peaceful, but really it's painful

But with friendship, there's nothing like that. Being in a relationship that's something you choose. Being friends, that's something you are.

"People are just such idiots," Tiny says "as if there is something wrong with being in love",


And many more....



X HAPPY READING FOLKS ! X

    1. Buy this one. It's funny, it's LGBTQ - Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer- genre. But it's beautifully written and I would go for this if Paper towns and Will Grayson, Will Grayson was kept in front of me.
