AWESOME!!! John Green is really fantastic. I loved this story. The narrators were excellent. I really like his writing style. He's super intuitive, uses the F-word in awesome ways, and gets right to the heart of things. Tiny Cooper hear me roar! Green's books always come together in the end- make you think or realize something quite simple.
I really loved the style of this book. Each author had his very own distinct writing and if I hadn't known that John wrote the odd chapters and David the even, I would have figured it out immediately.
It amazes me how well John and David can write teen characters. They both get into teen's minds and can somehow relay that to the page. There is not only humor and heart to this story, but I think it is important that a huge factor in the story is the fact that technology (IM, email, Facebook, etc) is one of the biggest communication tools teens have today. They so often hide behind their computers and phones and I think that was established in this story without preaching or even mentioning it.
I'm not a huge fan of David Levithan's work, but I did enjoy his chapters. John is my favorite author and he continued to meet my expectations with this book. I enjoyed Paper Towns and Looking for Alaska more, but David's musical really added some whimsy to this book that makes it stick out.

Usually a big John Green fan but this fell short for me. Found all the main characters slightly insufferable, and a lot of the side characters/plot lines half baked. I liked how you couldn’t predict how the end would be, and it showed the messiness of teenage relationships so well.
Wish Will/Will interacted more. Easy, quick, interesting read.

I had a nice time reading this book. That said, I probably won't read it again, but I enjoyed the characters and it was entertaining. I liked the writing styles between the two Will Graysons. I wish they had interacted more.
