Strangely, I have found that audiobooks have the opposite effect of loud music. I laughed out loud so often that I didn't even care if I looked like a maniac who loves laughing to herself and driving like a grandma down the highway. It took a bit to really get into the story, but once I did, I realized that the humor of the book was captured perfectly by the two readers who portrayed each of the Will Graysons. The quality and narration was ridiculously good. I would even go so far as to say that I really ONLY recommend listening to the audiobook. This is one of those that I can't possibly imagine NOT listening to as an audiobook. They all felt believable despite their flaws and stereotypes. Which is largely the result of the very good narration in the audiobook that got to the heart of each character. His characteristics are very cliche and stereotypical, but I personally found him charming, not to mention, hilarious. However, here's where I must issue a warning. ![]() His personality is just as large as his exterior, and I loved him. Not necessarily the most gay or the most large, but the ultimate combination of the two. ![]() Tiny Cooper is the world's largest gay person. Really, it could have been called Tiny's Two Graysons. In truth - Will Grayson, Will Grayson isn't about either of the Will Grayson's. Eeyore Will takes a while to get to know but definitely has the most dramatic turn around and largest character arc. However, I really have no authority the subject of Levithan since this is my first book of his. Some of my favorite people are "complicated", probably even myself included. I get the feeling that David Levithan is a very complicated person. He's soft, fluffy and cute but always so sad and complicated. The second is David Levithan's Will Grayson, who is a closet homosexual, gothic, and a manic depressive. But I wonder if guys really notice things like "the pale skin of her back, and how she bites her lower lip, and that she smells like over sweetened coffee". He is an over thinker, who notices every little thing about the people around him and analyzes each observation. He keeps his distance, physically and emotionally, from relationships but never seems to do the same mentally. I really appreciate the fact that Best Friend Will isn't the kind of guy who runs crotch first toward any girls who like him. He is lovable, funny and best friends with this guy named Tiny Cooper, so I call him Best Friend Will. But I still loved it!! Imagine that.Ĭontent warning for this book: Strong (yet hilarious) language including sexual references. It was just two guys in the same ol' regular universe who meet under unusual circumstances. The cover itself just screams alternate universes. For some reason, I got a very strong sci-fi vibe from the synopsis of this book. I have no idea what other book I could compare with Will Grayson, Will Grayson. They still keep a video blog, now called "The Vlog Brothers," which can be found on the Nerdfighters website, or a direct link here. In 2007, John and his brother Hank were the hosts of a popular internet blog, " Brotherhood 2.0," where they discussed their lives, books and current events every day for a year except for weekends and holidays. The film rights for all his books, with the exception of Will Grayson Will Grayson, have been optioned to major Hollywood Studios. Green has also coauthored a book with David Levithan called Will Grayson, Will Grayson, published in 2010. The book also topped the New York Times Children's Paperback Bestseller list for several weeks. The praise included rave reviews in Time Magazine and The New York Times, on NPR, and from award-winning author Markus Zusak. In January 2012, his most recent novel, The Fault in Our Stars, was met with wide critical acclaim, unprecedented in Green's career. ![]() His next novel, Paper Towns, is a New York Times bestseller and won the Edgar Allen Poe Award for Best YA Mystery. Printz Award Honor Book and a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. His second novel, An Abundance of Katherines, was a 2007 Michael L. Printz Award presented by the American Library Association. John Green's first novel, Looking for Alaska, won the 2006 Michael L.
