I have no idea what other book I could compare with Will Grayson, Will Grayson. For some reason, I got a very strong sci-fi vibe from the synopsis of this book. The cover itself just screams alternate universes. But nothing like that was involved. It was just two guys in the same ol' regular universe who meet under unusual circumstances. No speculative elements involved. But I still loved it!! Imagine that.Content warning for this book: Strong (yet hilarious) language including sexual references...
3.5 starsI am glad David Levithan joined John Green to create this story, because clearly Green is unable to write any other characters different from what he had already offered in Looking for Alaska, Paper Towns and An Abundance of Katherines. His Will Grayson is the same old nerdy, too eloquent boy who is into a smart, attractive, and slightly pretentious girl. Green simply cannot move on to any other ensemble. Levithan's Will Grayson, on the other hand, is a breath of fresh air with a whiff
my two enemies came together and wrote this book just to take me down.GUESS WHAT, DAVID AND JOHN. i'm still here.but if anything could take me out (and be clear nothing can - my cynicism and hatefulness have jaded me to such an extent that i am now immortal), it would have been this.gives me the heebie-jeebies to even recall it.part of a project i'm doing where i try to drive you all to unfollow me through half-assed reviews of books i read ages ago.
3.75 STARS! a witty and rude, fascinating and heartwarming, magically musical and original young adult tale of friendship and identity [♪] It's the belief, not the words, that mean everything. One cold night, in a most unlikely corner of Chicago, two strangers cross paths.Reality is the anvil.The unfeeling and cloesd-off Will Grayson¹, waiting outside a Maybe Dead Cats concert for his theatre lover best friend, Tiny Cooper, and Jane Turner, the girl with the bad music taste.the things you hope...
Assigned reading for MLIS 7421: Multicultural Youth Literature.I'm calling it quits on this one early. This is not even remotely enjoyable for me. It starts out with a bad tone as one of the Wills keeps fat-shaming Tiny (who, according to JG's website, is the *actual* main character), and then it just goes downhill so fast. The only thing I liked about the pages that I read was the Neutral Milk Hotel referencing, but even that is slightly ruined by how Manic Pixie John's writing manages to make
artificially inflated by the greens' ubiquitous little girl empire. for christ's sake, hamlet only has a 3.9.the feeling you get when you realize you've just wasted time and energy you could've spent reading one of infinitely many worthwhile books on something that has left you no richer for the wear is absolutely crushing. i read it over two days, first in the evening before picking it up again in the morning. when i fisnished, i threw it across the room and went back to sleep.
This book is one that I'm having a hard time rating. It's nothing to do with the fact that the book is written by two authors and I would split up the writing or anything like that. I found that their writing blended well together, and although I found one Will more fun to read about than another I don't think it had to do with the writing really. I've read many other reviews where people liked the other Will more so that doesn't really matter. It's just that although this book has the usual hum...
This book is terrific ---one that adults could spend time together discussing.....(high or low rating, there are topics worthy of discussion in this book) Sixteen year olds may enjoy this book - but I think the deeper insights might be more appreciated when older. There are already 15, 300 reviews .... I read two: ( 2 years ago), by Larry Hoffer, and Glenn Sumi. Larry's review was contagious and Glenn's thought provoking. With the recent floods in San Jose-an ongoing reminder for Paul and I - as...
Nope; I definitely did not like this book. I found it boring, bland and just pointless. Sure, the characters were interesting and unique, but I just found myself really struggling with motivation to read it. In fact, I stopped reading it completely. I don't recommend it.
Livre, je t'adore ....Took me awhile to think about what I wanted to write -- but at the same time, everybody else on friends list have done a GREAT job with their own review. So I don't know if I can add more and I'm not sure that I CAN do a better job. All I can say is ...+ Emotions. This book made me feel A LOT OF EMOTIONS. I was happy, I was entertained, I was pissed-off mad and was ready for MURDERING ONE FICTIONAL CHARACTER(!!!!), I was touched, I was sad (*sniff*), and in the end, I wa
You know how people say so and so is a "force of nature" and people usually take notice but then you see/read/meet said "force of nature" and really they're just a loud talker who's kinda bossy and then you feel let down?Well, I'm here to tell you Tiny Cooper is a bonafide force of nature!Tiny Cooper, who in fact, is not tiny. At all. The dude is gigantor. He is a loud talker but he's also magnetic in that tractor beam sort of way that attracts everyone around him to orbit his Tiny Cooper planet...
Basically, 300+ pages of a cutzy gay musical. First, as with so many books about teenagers, the teenagers really don't act much like teenagers. It seems most adult authors have forgotten what it was like to be a teenager. I never found myself relating or caring for any of the characters. There are some funny moments that brought a smile to my face. The ending I thought was a bit too contrived and unrealistic. I'm not sure about other high schools but I know the one I recently graduated fr
